Azerbaijan Cup

The Azerbaijan Cup (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Milli Futbol Kuboku) is a major association football competition in Azerbaijan. In its original form, it started in 1936, when Azerbaijan was a republic of the Soviet Union and it was not contested by Azerbaijani teams in the Soviet league pyramid.

Compared to major football competitions in many other countries, the tournament in Azerbaijan attracts considerably less public interest and even the cup final is rarely sold out. Consequently, the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan has experimented with the format in order to raise the profile of the competition.

The Azerbaijan Cup is a prestigious knockout football tournament held annually in Azerbaijan. Organized by the Azerbaijan Football Federations Association (AFFA), the competition features top Azerbaijani clubs competing for the coveted trophy. Established to promote domestic football talent and foster competitive spirit, the Azerbaijan Cup showcases exciting matches across various stages, culminating in a final that often draws significant attention from fans nationwide. The tournament not only provides clubs with an opportunity to secure silverware but also offers qualification pathways for European competitions, making it a highly anticipated event in Azerbaijan's football calendar.
