First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Marcel and I'm a 21 year old man from The Netherlands. I'm very interested in the Azerbaijan football. Unfortunately, on the internet aren't much pictures of the footballstadiums in Azerbaijan. My question is: Do you have any pictures of the stadiums in the Premier League?
Well that's the problem. I can't find any pictures of the stadiums. The following stadiums are difficult to find:
- Stadium of Karabach Agdam
- Stadium of Turan Tovuz
- Stadium of Karvan Yevlax
- Stadium of MOIK
- Stadium of FK Gabala
- Stadium of Mugan Salyan
MOIK stands for "Merkezi Ordu Idman Klubu" - Central Sports Club of Army. MOIK was originally built around the same concept of military sports club as CSKA Moscow, and CSKA Sofia etc.
Oke thanks.
And they want to build a new stadium?
I've heard that the teams in the first division won't promote to the premier league.
But will the teams from the premier league relegate to the first division or will the premier leugue have the same teams next season as this season.
Yes, MOIK plans to build a new stadium for the next season. You can see drawings over here
As far as format goes, starting from next season the number of teams in Azeri Premier League will be reduced from 14 to 12 teams, correspondingly number of teams in the 1st Division will increase from 8 to 10.

Yes, MOIK have a stadium and if I may say very old one and yes they have plans to build new one, lets hope it will go trough.
For next season plan is to cut number of teams in Supreme League from 14 to 12, so two last place teams get relegated. Which is btw imho very unfair decision towards first division.
Initial formula (to relegate 3 teams and 4th from the bottom will play playoff with second team in 1st division) was making more sense and at least was based on sports not administrative principals.
Quidam thank you for the drawings. It looks small, but MOIK doesn't have much fans during their matches do they? Ras1112, you say the MOIK stadium is very old. Do you have a picture of it?
Thank you both for the answer on my question about the league format. I hope Mugan won't relegate.
Are there more clubs who will built a new stadium?
Marcel, as far I am aware of soon Neftchi and Inter will have their own stadium. Also from next season, all clubs in Azeri premier league must have their own stadium
EDIT: Quite funny to read, the entry was for free and about 700 spectators attended the match.
Also a link to the old Safa Stadium, before it was being rebuilt and fulfilled to the FIFA-standards.
Thank you for all your comments!
It's nice to hear stadiums from all over the country will be reconstructed.
As for the current stadiums, on the site of Karabagh are pictures from all their matches. I was surprised about the Mugan stadium. I hope Google Earth will come with more recent pictures of Azerbaijan, so the stadiums are better visible.
I hope to see more pictures of the past, current and future stadiums of Azerbaijan!
