Premier League starts in Shamakhi: "Karvan-Yevlakh" - "Gabala"

The XXXIV national championship kicks off today with a match. In the first game of the 2025/26 season, "Karvan-Yevlakh" hosts "Gabala".

The fairness in the match to be held at the Shamakhi City Stadium will be ensured by the referee team led by FIFA referee Aliyar Agayev.

It should be noted that the "Sabah" - "Qarabağ" match, which was supposed to be held in the first round, was postponed due to Aghdam team qualifying for the Champions League play-off.
