There will be many innovations in the 2025/2026 season of the Azerbaijan Premier League.
Idman.biz reports with reference to Telegraf that Elgiz Abbasov, Technical Sports Director of the Professional Football League, informed journalists about this.
He stated that the main innovations are related to the format of the championship, the number of teams and the limit of legionnaires: "This season, 12 teams will compete. Unlike last season, this season the championship will consist of 3 rounds. As a result, there is no difference in the number of home and away games of the teams. If the legionnaire limit was 7+4 last season, there is no limit this year. There have also been changes in duties, which you also know."
Abbasov also drew attention to the infrastructure problems of the teams in the Premier League: "Football is always a sport that loves innovation. We have already signed certain changes. Teams may have infrastructure problems. We previously visited the stadium of "Karvan" and "Imishli". The condition of the stadiums there did not allow playing football not only at the Premier League, but even at the amateur level. But both clubs have already started repair work."
He emphasized that the topic related to stadiums worries PFL: "One month before the start of the championship, we ask clubs for their stadiums. Currently, there are problems with 4 stadiums. Repair work will begin at "Turan Tovuz" on July 20. During this period, they will hold their games at "Azersun Arena". True, it will upset Tovuz fans. But it is a good step regarding infrastructure, they will already be on a natural field."
