Qarabağ FK, also known as Qarabag Agdam, is a prominent football club based in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. Founded in 1951, the team originally hails from the city of Agdam, but due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the resulting destruction of their Imarat Stadium, they have been compelled to play their home games in Baku.
The club competes in the Azerbaijan Premier League, which is the top tier of Azerbaijani football. Qarabağ has become a dominant force in local football, clinching multiple league titles and becoming regulars in European competitions, most notably in the UEFA Europa League and occasionally qualifying for the prestigious UEFA Champions League.
Qarabağ FK's colors are black and white, and they are known by their fans as "The Horsemen" due to their emblem containing a depiction of a horseman, reflecting the historical tradition of horse riding in the region. The team plays its home matches at the Azersun Arena and has developed a reputation for having a strong defense, tactical discipline, and a passionate fan base.
The club's history is marked by resilience and overcoming adversity, representing more than just football for many of its supporters. They stand as a symbol of pride and perseverance for the people of Agdam and Azerbaijan as a whole. In the European scene, Qarabağ has earned respect by competing fiercely against superior-budgeted teams and achieving remarkable results that highlight the development of football in Azerbaijan.
