About Turan Tovuz

Turan Tovuz is a professional football club based in the city of Tovuz, Azerbaijan, and currently competes in the Azerbaijan Premier League. Founded in 1992, it is considered the first professional football club in independent Azerbaijan and has played an important role in the early development of the national league system.

The club enjoyed its greatest success in the early 1990s, finishing among the top teams in its first seasons and winning the national championship in 1993–94. Turan Tovuz also became one of the regular participants in the top division, remaining there for over two decades. However, from the late 1990s onward, financial difficulties led to a gradual decline in performance and league standings.

In the 2012–13 season, the club was relegated from the top flight for the first time in its history, ending a long run in the highest division. After several years in the lower leagues, including a First Division title, Turan Tovuz eventually returned to the Premier League in 2022. Today, the club remains a historic representative of regional Azerbaijani football and continues to compete at the top level.
