Stadium
Lökbatan Olympic Sport Complex Stadium is a football and a multi-use stadium in Lökbatan settlement of Baku, Azerbaijan. It is currently used as the club's home stadium and holds 2,500 people.
History
The club was established in 2009 under the name of Neftchi-ISM as Neftchi Baku's reserve team, and played in Azerbaijan First Division. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team and therefore the club was ineligible for promotion to the Azerbaijan Premier League. The club became independent of Neftchi in 2011 and was renamed Qaradağ Lökbatan FK, which would allow them to participate in Premier League if they secured promotion from the First Division.[2]
On 10 April 2012, the club finished top in the First Division, which would normally result in promotion to Azerbaijan Premier League.[3] However, after a decision of the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan about licensing, the club was not promoted.[4][5]
Qaradağ was eliminated from Azerbaijan First League at the end of the 2024-25 season after coming in last place.[6] In July 2025, the head coach position was assigned to Kamal Guliyev and the club began playing in Azerbaijan Second League.[7] In August of the same year, the club parted ways with him, and Gazanfar Abbasov was appointed as the team's head coach.[8] Amit Guluzade returned as the head coach for the 2026/27 season in Azerbaijan Second League.
