After "Qarabağ" player Amin Rzayev was named the youngest debutant of the season in the Misli Premier League, the average age of the clubs is of interest.
Idman.biz has identified the youngest and oldest teams in the championship.
This was possible based on the performance of players who got at least 1 minute of chance this season. In total, 282 people appeared on the field during the championship. Their average age as of today is 26 years and 337 days. Let's also emphasize the fact that six of these players wore uniforms in 2 different clubs.
An interesting point connects the list of the youngest clubs with the Premier League standings. The four youngest teams are lined up in the same order as the last places.
Outsider "Sabail" relies on the youngest team of all. "Kapaz", the other team whose players are under 26, is 9th in the Premier League. "Sumgayit" and "Shamakhi" in the neighboring rows continue this sequence.
Teams with a high average age of players are mainly contenders for awards. Only "Neftchi" fell into the category of "old people". The capital representative is considered young only compared to "Araz-Nakhchivan". The average age of the champion "Qarabağ", silver medalist "Zira" and "Turan Tovuz", which still has a chance for bronze, is also over 27.
1. "Sabail" (28 players) – 25 years 254 days
2. "Kapaz" (32 players) – 25 years 313 days
3. "Sumgayit" (32 players) – 26 years
4. "Shamakhi" (30 players) – 26 years 2 days
5. "Sabah" (29 players) – 26 years 245 days
6. "Turan Tovuz" (28 players) – 27 years 119 days
7. "Zira" (26 players) – 27 years 134 days
8. "Qarabağ" (29 players) – 27 years 274 days
