Dmitry Valentinovich Nazarov (Azerbaijani: Dmitri Valentinoviç Nazarov; Russian: Дмитрий Валентинович Назаров; born 4 April 1990) is an Azerbaijani professional footballer who plays for German Regionalliga club Kickers Offenbach and the Azerbaijan national team.

Early life[edit]

Dmitry Valentinovich Nazarov was born on 4 April 1990 in Taiynsha, then Kazakh SSR, one of the republics of the Soviet Union. His grandfather was ethnic Azerbaijani.[1] His family moved to Germany when he was one year old.

Club career[edit]

On 7 June 2013, Nazarov signed a three-year contract with 2. Bundesliga side Karlsruher SC.[2] On 2 July 2016, he signed a two-year contract with 2. Bundesliga side FC Erzgebirge Aue.[3]

On 22 June 2023, Nazarov signed with Kickers Offenbach in Regionalliga Südwest.[4]

International career[edit]

Because Nazarov was born in Kazakhstan, he was eligible to play for the national teams of Kazakhstan and all other former Soviet Union republics. In October 2012, he was spotted by then Azerbaijan's German head coach Berti Vogts and nominated for a match against Russia on 16 October.[5] However, he was not able to make his debut because the Azerbaijani Football Federation failed to organize the issue of his Azerbaijani passport.[6] He finally debuted on 27 May 2014 in an away match against the United States in San Francisco.[7]
