The winter champion of the 2025/2026 season of the Misli Premier League has been determined.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to the official website of the Professional Football League that this was clarified after the last game of 2025.
"Sabah", who won the 16th round away match against "Sumgayit" with a score of 3:1, will meet the new year as the leader.
The Baku club, which increased its score to 37, is one point ahead of "Qarabag", the winter champion of the last 4 seasons. This is the first such result in the history of "Sabah".
The capital representative became the 10th team to finish the year at the top. The last new winter champion was recorded 17 years ago - in the 2008/2009 season.
In the season when the Premier League was held under the PFL flag for the first time, "Inter" (now "Shamakhi") became the winter champion for the first time in its history. In subsequent years, no one else was able to add their name to the list of winter champions, and those who first signed this success stood out again.
In total, nine clubs have achieved such a result so far, and "Sabah" became the 10th on the list. "Qarabag" has distinguished itself the most - 11 times (2004/2005, 2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016, 2016/2017, 2017/2018, 2019/2020, 2021/2022, 2022/2023, 2023/2024, 2024/2025). "Neftchi" nine (1994/1995, 1996/1997, 2000/2001, 2001/2002, 2003/2004, 2010/2011, 2011/2012, 2018/2019, 2020/2021), "Kapaz" (1993/1994, 1997/1998, 1998/1999) and "Shamakhi" (2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2012/2013) three each, "Khazri" (1995/1996), "Shamkir" (1999/2000), "Karvan" (2005/2006), "Khazar Lankaran" (2006/2007) and "Shuvalan" (2007/2008) have one such success.
It should be noted that the 1992 and 1993 seasons were held in the spring-autumn system.
