Ravan Baku FK (Azerbaijani: Rəvan Futbol Klubu) is an Azerbaijani football club, based in Baku, that plays in the Azerbaijan First Division.[1]

History

The club was founded in 2009. In May 2011, the team secured their promotion to Azerbaijan Premier League after clinching second place in Azerbaijan First Division.[2]

In the club's debut 2011–12 season, Ravan ended in 8th position in the Azerbaijan Premier League, the club's highest ever league finish. The following season, the club repeated its record by finishing 8th once again. In 2013, Ravan's ownership faced heavy criticism from local media, football experts and fans, for hiring and firing managers quite so often.[3] [4] Ravan were officially relegated on 17 May 2014 after suffering a 3–2 defeat at home to Baku.[5]
