The team's footballer, Leandro Andrade, became the top scorer of the 2024/25 season in the Misli Premier League. The Portuguese midfielder scored 15 goals during the season. He won the Premier League top scorer award for the first time. For the 4th consecutive time and the 10th time in history, a player from the team has been awarded this title.
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.
