Current season

Gabala SC (Template:Lang-az, also spelled Qabala; pronounced [ɡæbælæ]) is an Azerbaijani association football club based in Qabala. They play in the Azerbaijan Premier League, the top division in Azerbaijani football. Gabala plays its matches at the Gabala City Stadium.

History

The club was founded under the name of Goy Gol on 3 July 1995, based in Goy Gol. On 1 September 2005, Goy Gol was registered in Gabala by the Ministry of Justice, before the AFFA registered the team as professional on 5 September of the same year. In the summer of 2006, the team moved from Goygol to Qabala, before the club changed its name to Gabal on August 31, 2007.[1][2]

On 10 May 2010, former Arsenal defender Tony Adams was appointed as new manager after signing £1 million per year deal with the club.[3][4] In his first season in charge Gabala finished at 7th place in Azerbaijan Premier League.[5][6] In November 2011, Adams resigned from being Gabala's coach due to family problems.[7][8]

Despite the appointment of managers like Fatih Kavlak and Ramiz Mammadov, the club couldn't reach a satisfactory position in the league and was struggling in the middle of the table for many years.[9][10] On 29 May 2013, Yuri Semin was appointed as new manager after signing £1 million per year deal with the club.[11][12] In same year, the club qualified for European cups for first time in their history but lost to Neftchi Baku on penalties in final of Azerbaijan Cup.[13][14]

In the 2015-16 season of Europa League they became the 3rd club from Azerbaijan to qualify for the group stage after Qarabag and Neftic Baku. They eliminated Dinamo Tibilisi, Čukarički , Apollon Limassol and suprisingly Panathinaikos. They came 4th in their tough group of Borussia Dortmund, PAOK and Fc Krasnodar. They managed to get two points both from 0-0 draws against PAOK.

Crest and colours

Team photo for the 2010–2011 season.

The club's crest includes Caucasus Mountains with a black crescent and red eight-pointed star, similar to Azerbaijani flag. It also includes 2005 which signifies the club's formation year.

Shirt sponsors and kit manufacturers

Gabala's traditional kit is composed of red shirts, black shorts and red socks. The club's first kit manufacturer was Erreà, until a two-year deal was agreed with Joma in 2013.[15][16]

On August 2012, Gabala signed one-year deal with the American multinational beverage corporation and manufacturer Pepsi, which will replace Hyundai as the shirt sponsor from the 2013–14 season.[17]

Stadium

The club play their home matches at the Gabala City Stadium, an all-seater football stadium situated in Qabala.

As of 2007, predominantly due to UEFA requirements, the club proposed an extensive renovation of the stadium, which has since been in constant process of redevelopment.[18] AFL Architects were appointed to design a new 15,000 capacity stadium and training facility in December 2008 after winning a limited design competition. Accommodation within the stadium will include hotel and conferencing facilities, as well as retail and corporate hospitality space, and a dramatic viewing deck at the top of the entrance tower.[19] It is expected that the stadium was scheduled to open in 2014.[20]

Supporters

Gabala has a large fanbase in relation to its comparative lack of success on the pitch. Gabala's fan base has fluctuated over the years with high crowds coinciding with the club's success in the Premier League so that the club now averages in the top four best home attendances in the country.[21]
