Qaradağ Lökbatan FK (Azerbaijani: Qaradağ Lökbatan Futbol Klubu) was an Azerbaijani football club based in Lökbatan.
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.
On 10 April 2012, the club finished top in the First Division, which would normally result in promotion to Azerbaijan Premier League. However, after a decision of the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan about licensing, the club was not promoted.
On 20 May 2025, the club has announced its dissolution. However, the team announced to play in the Azerbaijan Second League.
The team plays its home matches at the Lokbatan Stadium, which provides an energetic atmosphere for fans and players alike. Qaradag Lokbatan is recognized for its commitment to developing local talent, often promoting young players from the region to the first team. The club emphasizes teamwork, discipline, and a strong work ethic, which are reflected in their playing style.
Over the years, Qaradag Lokbatan has achieved notable successes, including strong performances in the Azerbaijan First Division and participation in the Azerbaijan Cup. The team's dedication to excellence and community engagement has solidified its status as a beloved institution in Azerbaijani football. With a focus on growth and ambition, Qaradag Lokbatan continues to strive for success on and off the pitch, aiming to make a lasting impact in the world of soccer.
