Despite all the restoration and maintenance work carried out at the Tovuz city stadium, where "Turan Tovuz" Professional Football Club holds its home games, it has not been possible to prepare the arena's grass cover for games due to the rainy and unstable weather conditions observed in the region. Sport24.az reports with reference to the PFL that the situation at the stadium was analyzed by the Professional Football League based on the appeal of the "Turan Tovuz" club and appropriate steps were taken.
Thus, taking into account the appeal of the "Turan Tovuz" club and the consent of the "Qarabağ" club, the Professional Football League decided to hold the home games of "Turan Tovuz" at "Azersun Arena".
At the same time, in order to prevent the overloading of the "Azersun Arena" due to the continuous game and training schedule and to avoid a problem that seems real, it was decided to organize the "Turan Tovuz" - "Sumgayit" game, which will be held on January 25, 2026, as part of the XVII round of the Misli Premier League, at the Sumgayit city stadium named after Mehdi Huseynzade. After this match, the "Turan Tovuz" club will start holding its home games in the Azerbaijan Cup and Misli Premier League at "Azersun Arena".
The club's return to the Tovuz city stadium is planned for the 25th round game of the Misli Premier League, which will be held on March 20-22, 2026. However, before the mentioned match, a test game will be held at the stadium with the participation of the working group of the Professional Football League. Based on the results of the observations during the test game, a final decision will be made regarding the stadium and further steps will be taken.
There will be no changes regarding the announced start times of the games.
