The Azerbaijan First League (Шаблон:Lang-az) is the second highest professional division in Azerbaijani professional football. The league is run by AFFA. The winner promotes to Premier Division.
History
Due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, all Azerbaijan clubs of the former Soviet Premier Division and Soviet First Division conformed a single Azerbaijan Premier League, which meant that the new second tier of Azerbaijan football would remain regionalized. For the first two seasons three regional groups conformed the second tier, until in 1994 the single table in use today began to be used.
Competition format
The First League currently consists of 10 teams. All teams play each other three times. [1]
