The Azerbaijan Championship, held annually since 1993, was only not held in the 2020-2021 season due to the pandemic. That year, by the decision of the Executive Committee, the previous year's champion, "Araz-Nakhchivan", represented our country in the UEFA Champions League. In general, "Araz-Nakhchivan" has been the strongest 19 times. After the Nakhchivan representative, two teams have won the title of national champion 3 times.
We are talking about "Avtomobilchi" and "Turan AIR." "Azerneftyanacaq" has experienced this joy twice. The first champion was "Nicat." "Azade" and "Tribut" have also been champions once each. After "Araz-Nakhchivan" became champion 10 times in a row, the series was broken by "Khazar Islands."
