## History[edit]

Founded by Vidadi Ahmedov on 23 February 1992, the club was the first Azerbaijani professional football club under the name of Turan Tovuz.[2][3] However, since 1997, club found themselves slipping further and further down the table, which influenced by financial difficulties.[4][5]

In 2011–12 season, ended with Turan in 11th position in Azerbaijan Premier League, the club's lowest ever league finish. In 2012–13 season, Turan for the first time in their history relegated to the Azerbaijan First Division, after twenty years in top flight.[6][7]

In 2013, club's owners decided to change club's name to Turan-T.[8] The club restored their name few months later.[9]
