Neftchi, which won gold medals last season and put an end to its 6-year longing for the championship, failed in the Champions League. The team participated in the second qualifying round of the tournament, Croatia's "Dinamo" (Zagreb) club defeat (0: 3, 0: 0), the fight was stopped early. As a result, head coach Arif Asadov resigned. Boyukaga Hajiyev was brought to this position instead . However, he almost protected the "black and whites". In addition, the flagship, which transferred the Serbian goalkeeper Sasa Stamenkovic, became even stronger.          

Neftchi, which is preparing for the season in Turkey and Austria, successfully passed the qualifying round of the championship . In particular, the main rivals in the fight for the championship in the " club" on a 5: 0 victory heralded flagship power. Our team, which won 16 games in 22 games, finished the qualifying round in the first place with 49 points .           

Neftchi started the final with a defeat to Gabala . However, in the following rounds , victories over Inter (2: 1, 2: 1) and Baku (2: 1) , as well as against Khazar Lankaran (1: 1) and Karabakh (0: 0) . After the draw, the number of points reached 60. Although head coach Boyukaga Hajiyev's team returned from the away match against Khazar Lankaran without a goal on April 22 (0: 1), a week later they defeated Karabakh 2: 1 and formalized their championship two rounds before the end . Thus, winning the gold medal for the second time in a row, the flagship became the champion for the 7th time in history.
