If we don't take into account that "Karabakh" secured the championship ahead of time, we witnessed an interesting "football year".

The fight for European Cups continued until the last week. "Neftchi", "Turan Tovuz", "Sabail", "Araz-Nakhchivan" added additional interest to the league. The only sad moment was that "Gabala" did not stay in the Premier League. However, it is necessary to protect the principles of sports. AFFA management followed it.

One of the most discussed issues during the season was "Araz-Nakhchivan" not playing in the Autonomous Republic. Many pointed out that the club violated the conditions of the license. Is this really the case? We addressed our question to the chairman of the Licensing Commission, Elchin Mammadov. The official of the institution said the following in his statement to Offsideplus.az:

"There is no specific decision regarding this in the UEFA rules. That is, the club does not have to play the game in the city it represents. UEFA says that a team must have a stadium in the territory of the country where the association is located. That is, the arena ordered by "Araz-Nakhchivan" meets the requirements of the Premier League. There is no rule violation."
