Kocaelispor secured the championship in the Turkish First League with three rounds remaining.
Idman.biz reports that the "green-blacks" have earned the right to play in the Super League after a 16-year break.
Kocaelispor last competed in the top division of Turkey in the 2008/09 season. At that time, Rashad Sadygov, the former captain of the Azerbaijan national team, also played for the team. In the same season, another of our footballers, Ramal Huseynov, also wore Kocaelispor's uniform in one game and scored 1 goal. Last year, the honor of the team was defended by Ramin Sheydaev, the forward of the Azerbaijan national team.
It should be noted that at the beginning of this year, the Turkish TRT Spor channel announced the "best 11" of legionnaires who played for Kocelispor in all periods, and also included Rashad Sadygov in the symbolic team.
