History

Early years

• First Azerbaijani football clubs started to function in 1905. Generally they represented the main oil companies of Baku.
• The Azerbaijan national football team held its first friendly matches against Georgia and Armenia in 1927 for the Trans-Caucasian Championship in Georgia.^[1]
• During the Soviet Era the team did not play any international matches

'60s to '90s

1960s considered Golden Age for Azerbaijani football as it produced great players like Anatoliy Banishevskiy, Alakbar Mammadov and football referee Tofik Bakhramov, most famous for being a linesman who helped to award a goal for England in the 1966 World Cup Final between England and West Germany.

1990s

After Azerbaijan gained its independence in 1991, AFFA — Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan — was created. In 1992, renowned Azerbaijani footballer Alekper Mamedov became the first head coach of the Azeribaijani national football team, compiling a 3–1 record as coach that includes the first ever national team victory, over Georgia on May 25, 1993.^[3][4] In 1994, the national team was accepted into FIFA and UEFA.

Because of security issues, the team played all of its home Euro 96 qualifers in Trabzon, Turkey.^[5]

2000s

In February 2004, Carlos Alberto Torres, captain of the Brazil team that won the 1970 FIFA World Cup was appointed its national coach. Despite a poor start, a 0–6 defeat to Israel on February 18, Azerbaijan won their first ever away match, 3–2 against Kazakhstan on April 28. In June 2005, following a 3–0 defeat by Poland, Torres stood down from the position, to be replaced by former Neftchi coach Vagif Sadygov, his third spell as coach of Azerbaijan. Shahin Diniyev took over as manager in November 2005. He resigned on 31 October 2007, and Gjoko Hadzievski was named as care-taking coach of Azerbaijan.^[6]

In April 2008, former German football player and coach Berti Vogts was appointed as a manager of Azerbaijan on a two-year contract.^[7] Azerbaijan had a mixed qualifying campaign, finishing with 5 points, just missing out on a last place to Liechtenstein with 2 points.

2010s

In November 2009, AFFA extended Berti Vogts' contract a further two years, making him the first manager to manage Azerbaijani national team in two qualification cycles.^[8][9] Following shock win over Turkey, team reached 90th place in FIFA World Rankings, Azerbaijan's highest position ever in country's football history.^[10][11]After victory over Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan also broke their scoring and points records by gaining 7 points and scoring 9 goals.^[12][13]

In November 2011, AFFA once again extended Berti Vogts' contract a further two years, until end of 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification cycle.^[14]

Stadium

Most of Azerbaijan's home matches are played at the Tofik Bakhramov Stadium in the capital Baku. It has been Azerbaijan's principal home stadium ever since the country's independence from the Soviet Union.

Today, some qualifying matches are hosted at the Lankaran City Stadium and Dalga Arena after it met UEFA stadium criteria.^[15][16]

The new Baku Olympic Stadium is under construction in Baku with an expected capacity of 64,000 seats.^[17][18] Following 2015, this stadium will be used as the venue for the most key matches of the Azerbaijani national team.

Colours

Azerbaijan's traditional home colours are white shirts, blue shorts and white socks. The team wears also an all white kit. This combination of colours are traditional for national team since first game. In the beginning of 90's the team has worn white jersey, to the end of decade it has been transformated into blue-white striped shirts, however for the beginning of 2000's has been turned to the white shirt with a vertical blue-red-green tricolor stripe on the chest. It have been changed into blue shirts, red shorts and green socks only for the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying round. In 2008 went back national team's usual combination of colors.

Azerbaijan national team's away colours were yellow-black striped shirts, black shorts and yellow socks until UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying round, when it was decided to abandon this kit in favor of the completely blue. During the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying round games the team has used an all red kit.
