Historical Success
"Qarabağ," the only club in the history of Azerbaijani football to reach the main stage of the Champions League, repeated the success it achieved in the 2017/18 season. "Qarabağ," which qualified for the group stage of the continent's most prestigious club tournament 8 years ago, this time gained the right to participate in the league-format competition. Our team, eliminating the Hungarian representative "Ferencvaros" in the play-offs, thus gained the opportunity to play 8 more matches with the strongest teams of the continent.
