The '''Azerbaijan Premier League''' ({{lang-az|Azərbaycan Premyer Liqası}}) is a professional league for men's [[association football]] clubs. At the top of the [[Azerbaijan football league system]], it is the country's primary football competition. It is contested by 10 clubs. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 36 matches each (playing each team in the league four times, twice at home and twice away). The Premier League champion secures the right to play in [[UEFA Champions League]] first qualifying round. The runner up and the 3rd place winner secure right to play in [[UEFA Europa Conference League]] starting in second qualifying round.
Since 1992, a total of 8 clubs have been crowned champions of the Azerbaijani football system. The Azerbaijan Premier League was first organized in 2007 and succeeded the Top Division ({{lang-az|Yüksək Liqa}}), which existed from 1992 to 2007. The current champions are [[Qarabağ FK|Qarabağ]], who won the title in the [[2021-22 Azerbaijan Premier League|2021-22]] season for the ninth time.

==History==
===The 1990s===
The league was dominated by teams like [[Neftçi PFK|Neftçi]], [[Kapaz PFK|Kapaz]], [[Turan-Tovuz IK|Turan Tovuz]] and [[Shamkir FC|Shamkir]]. However, financial struggles had bad impact on local clubs and most teams such as [[Khazri Buzovna]], [[Shamkir FC|Shamkir]], [[FK Viləş Masallı|Vilash Masalli]] and [[Shafa Baku]] went bust due increasing debts.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ölkə futbolu qara geyinməyə hazırlaşır (Yazı) |url=http://www.penalti.az/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3729:oelk-futbolu-qara-geyinmy-hazrlar-yaz&catid=9:manet&Itemid=13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210827142406/https://www.penalti.az/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3729:oelk-futbolu-qara-geyinmy-hazrlar-yaz&catid=9:manet&Itemid=13 |url-status=dead |archive-date=27 August 2021 |work=Penalti.az |access-date=3 December 2011 |language=az }}</ref> In 1997, Kapaz were known for their unbeaten run as club's final record for the [[1997–98 Azerbaijan Top League|1997–98]] league campaign stood at 22 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses, out of 26 games total, an unbeaten run not matched in any single season by any team in an Azerbaijani league division.<ref name=rek />
===The 2000s===
As league entered a new century, the [[Neftçi PFK|Neftçi]] found themselves facing new challengers. They were challenged by emerging [[Khazar Lankaran FK|Khazar Lankaran]], [[Inter Baku PIK|Inter Baku]] and [[FC Baku|Baku]] in both competitions. The country's football received major blow in 2002, when [[UEFA]] imposed a two-year ban in response to a long-standing conflict between the [[Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan]] and majority of the country's top flight clubs.<ref>{{cite web|title=İbrahimoviç Qurbanova çatdı |url=http://www.futbolplusqol.com/2011/05/12/read=15908 |work=futbolplusqol.com |access-date=1 September 2011 |language=az |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009021641/http://www.futbolplusqol.com/2011/05/12/read%3D15908 |archive-date=9 October 2011 |df=dmy }}</ref> The domestic championship was abandoned as a result of the conflict and the top clubs prevented their players from playing for the [[Azerbaijan national football team|national team]], with tax officials also probing allegations of fraud at the Azerbaijan federation.<ref>{{cite web|last=Walker|first=Paul|title=Relief for Wales as Uefa lifts ban on Azerbaijan|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/relief-for-wales-as-uefa-lifts-ban-on-azerbaijan-590976.html|work=Independent.co.uk|publisher=[[The Independent]]|access-date=1 September 2011}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> Under the management of [[Agaselim Mirjavadov]], Khazar Lankaran finished as [[Azerbaijan Cup]] winners in 2006 and 2007, while becoming league champions in [[2006–07 Azerbaijan Top League|2006–07]] despite losing the title to Neftçi in [[2004–05 Azerbaijan Top League|2004–05]] during Championship play-off. [[Qarabağ FK|Qarabağ]] was the first ever team from Azerbaijan to reach [[UEFA Europa League]] play off-round during the seasons [[2009–10 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round|2009–10]] and [[2010–11 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round|2010–11]]. Few gave chances for qualification to the next round, although the [[Agdam Rayon|Aghdam]] side caused quite a stir against favorites [[Rosenborg BK|Rosenborg]], [[FC Honka|Honka]], [[FC Twente|Twente]] and [[Wisła Kraków]].

==Players==
Azerbaijan Premier League clubs have almost complete freedom to sign whatever number and category of players they wish. There is no team or individual salary cap, no squad size limit, no age restrictions other than those applied by general employment law, no restrictions on the overall number of foreign players, and few restrictions on individual foreign players – all players with foreign nationality, including those able to claim a passport through a parent or grandparent, are eligible to play, and top players from outside the EU are able to obtain Azerbaijani work permits.
The only restriction on selection is the "Under-21 rule". This rule states that each club must include at least two players under the age of 21 in its matchday squad.<ref>{{cite web|title=AFFA 21 yaşla bağlı qərarı ləğv edir, bu dəfə Ramin Musayev Elxan Məmmədova qalib gəldi|url=http://sportinfo.az/news-288/?n=l|work=sportinfo.az|access-date=19 May 2013|language=az|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222032911/http://sportinfo.az/news-288/?n=l|archive-date=22 February 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Opinions on this rule appear to be divided among APL managers.
==Records==
Players in the Premier League compete for the Azerbaijan Premier League Golden Boot, awarded to the top scorer at the end of each season. [[Nazim Aliyev]] is the league's all-time top scorer with 183 goals, including 39 in the 1992 season.<ref name=Ekspress>[https://archive.today/2014.08.05-003513/http://www.express.com.az/second.asp?id=114453 Ekspress Newspaper] {{in lang|az}}</ref> During the 1995–96 season he became the first player to score 100 Premier League goals. Since then, 10 other players have reached the 100-goal mark.<ref name=Ekspress />

A major criticism of the Premier League in the mid-2000s was the emergence of gulf between the Premier League and the [[Azerbaijan First Division|First Division]]. Criticism of the gap between clubs has continued, nevertheless, due to some clubs' increasing ability to spend more than the other Premier League clubs. For some clubs, including [[Shamkir FC|Shamkir]], [[Karvan FK|Karvan]], [[Absheron FK|Absheron]], [[Mil-Muğan FK|MKT-Araz]] who have failed to win immediate promotion back to the top flight, financial problems, including in some cases administration or even liquidation have followed.

==History==
===The 1990s===
The league was dominated by teams like [[Neftçi PFK|Neftçi]], [[Kapaz PFK|Kapaz]], [[Turan-Tovuz IK|Turan Tovuz]] and [[Shamkir FC|Shamkir]]. However, financial struggles had bad impact on local clubs and most teams such as [[Khazri Buzovna]], [[Shamkir FC|Shamkir]], [[FK Viləş Masallı|Vilash Masalli]] and [[Shafa Baku]] went bust due increasing debts.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ölkə futbolu qara geyinməyə hazırlaşır (Yazı) |url=http://www.penalti.az/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3729:oelk-futbolu-qara-geyinmy-hazrlar-yaz&catid=9:manet&Itemid=13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210827142406/https://www.penalti.az/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3729:oelk-futbolu-qara-geyinmy-hazrlar-yaz&catid=9:manet&Itemid=13 |url-status=dead |archive-date=27 August 2021 |work=Penalti.az |access-date=3 December 2011 |language=az }}</ref> In 1997, Kapaz were known for their unbeaten run as club's final record for the [[1997–98 Azerbaijan Top League|1997–98]] league campaign stood at 22 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses, out of 26 games total, an unbeaten run not matched in any single season by any team in an Azerbaijani league division.<ref name=rek />
===The 2000s===
As league entered a new century, the [[Neftçi PFK|Neftçi]] found themselves facing new challengers. They were challenged by emerging [[Khazar Lankaran FK|Khazar Lankaran]], [[Inter Baku PIK|Inter Baku]] and [[FC Baku|Baku]] in both competitions. The country's football received major blow in 2002, when [[UEFA]] imposed a two-year ban in response to a long-standing conflict between the [[Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan]] and majority of the country's top flight clubs.<ref>{{cite web|title=İbrahimoviç Qurbanova çatdı |url=http://www.futbolplusqol.com/2011/05/12/read=15908 |work=futbolplusqol.com |access-date=1 September 2011 |language=az |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009021641/http://www.futbolplusqol.com/2011/05/12/read%3D15908 |archive-date=9 October 2011 |df=dmy }}</ref> The domestic championship was abandoned as a result of the conflict and the top clubs prevented their players from playing for the [[Azerbaijan national football team|national team]], with tax officials also probing allegations of fraud at the Azerbaijan federation.<ref>{{cite web|last=Walker|first=Paul|title=Relief for Wales as Uefa lifts ban on Azerbaijan|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/relief-for-wales-as-uefa-lifts-ban-on-azerbaijan-590976.html|work=Independent.co.uk|publisher=[[The Independent]]|access-date=1 September 2011}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> Under the management of [[Agaselim Mirjavadov]], Khazar Lankaran finished as [[Azerbaijan Cup]] winners in 2006 and 2007, while becoming league champions in [[2006–07 Azerbaijan Top League|2006–07]] despite losing the title to Neftçi in [[2004–05 Azerbaijan Top League|2004–05]] during Championship play-off. [[Qarabağ FK|Qarabağ]] was the first ever team from Azerbaijan to reach [[UEFA Europa League]] play off-round during the seasons [[2009–10 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round|2009–10]] and [[2010–11 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round|2010–11]].

==Players==
Azerbaijan Premier League clubs have almost complete freedom to sign whatever number and category of players they wish. There is no team or individual salary cap, no squad size limit, no age restrictions other than those applied by general employment law, no restrictions on the overall number of foreign players, and few restrictions on individual foreign players – all players with foreign nationality, including those able to claim a passport through a parent or grandparent, are eligible to play, and top players from outside the EU are able to obtain Azerbaijani work permits.
The only restriction on selection is the "Under-21 rule". This rule states that each club must include at least two players under the age of 21 in its matchday squad.<ref>{{cite web|title=AFFA 21 yaşla bağlı qərarı ləğv edir, bu dəfə Ramin Musayev Elxan Məmmədova qalib gəldi|url=http://sportinfo.az/news-288/?n=l|work=sportinfo.az|access-date=19 May 2013|language=az|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222032911/http://sportinfo.az/news-288/?n=l|archive-date=22 February 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Opinions on this rule appear to be divided among APL managers.
==Records==
Players in the Premier League compete for the Azerbaijan Premier League Golden Boot, awarded to the top scorer at the end of each season. [[Nazim Aliyev]] is the league's all-time top scorer with 183 goals, including 39 in the 1992 season.<ref name=Ekspress>[https://archive.today/2014.08.05-003513/http://www.express.com.az/second.asp?id=114453 Ekspress Newspaper] {{in lang|az}}</ref> During the 1995–96 season he became the first player to score 100 Premier League goals. Since then, 10 other players have reached the 100-goal mark.<ref name=Ekspress />

Players were asked to consider wage cuts and team squads were reduced.
A major criticism of the Premier League in the mid-2000s was the emergence of gulf between the Premier League and the [[Azerbaijan First Division|First Division]]. Criticism of the gap between clubs has continued, nevertheless, due to some clubs' increasing ability to spend more than the other Premier League clubs. For some clubs, including [[Shamkir FC|Shamkir]], [[Karvan FK|Karvan]], [[Absheron FK|Absheron]], [[Mil-Muğan FK|MKT-Araz]] who have failed to win immediate promotion back to the top flight, financial problems, including in some cases administration or even liquidation have followed.

<p>Azerbaijan Premier League clubs have almost complete freedom to sign whatever number and category of players they wish. There is no team or individual salary cap, no squad size limit, no age restrictions other than those applied by general employment law, no restrictions on the overall number of foreign players, and few restrictions on individual foreign players – all players with foreign nationality, including those able to claim a passport through a parent or grandparent, are eligible to play, and top players from outside the EU are able to obtain Azerbaijani work permits.
</p><p>The only restriction on selection is the "Under-21 rule". This rule states that each club must include at least two players under the age of 21 in its matchday squad.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a></sup> Opinions on this rule appear to be divided among APL managers.
</p>
