However, FK Masallı withdrew for the 2008/09 season, so FK Mughan gained a spot in the Azerbaijan Premier League.

Their first victory was in round 3. Against PFC Turan Tovuz they won with 3–1. Finishing the season on the 12th spot, FK Mughan had just enough points to stay clear of relegation.
In 2010–11 season, club finished 8th place but due sponsorship reasons, club is ruled out to participate in the next season and will be replaced by Simurq PFC.[4][5] In 2012, club's owners announced that club will be dissolved and they will not be participating in Azerbaijan First Division.[6]
