History

The club was established in 2009 under the name of Neftchi-ISM as Neftchi Baku's reserve team, and played in Azerbaijan First Division. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team and therefore the club was ineligible for promotion to the Azerbaijan Premier League. The club became independent of Neftchi in 2011 and was renamed Qaradağ Lökbatan FK, which would allow them to participate in Premier League if they secured promotion from the First Division.^[2]

On 10 April 2012, the club finished top in the First Division, which would normally result in promotion to Azerbaijan Premier League.^[3] However, after a decision of the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan about licensing, the club was not promoted.^[4][5]

On 20 May 2025, the club has announced its dissolution.^[6] However, the team announced to play in the Azerbaijan Second League.
