Mil-Muğan FK is an Azerbaijani football club based in Imishli, that currently plays in Azerbaijan First Division. The club was founded in 2004 by МКТ Istehsalat-Kommersiya, a cotton manufacturing company.

History

The club was immediately admitted to the AFFA Supreme League after its formation. They finished 8th in 2004/05 and 9th in 2005/06. In 2006 the club also played in the UEFA Intertoto Cup due to the rejection of several Azerbaijan clubs in this competition. Although it was successful in winning the home game against Moldovan Tiraspol in the first stage (1:0), the club lost in Moldova (1:2) and thus, was out of the tournament.

The 2006/07 became the most successful season in club history. The team took 5th place and reached the Azerbaijan Cup final, losing 1:0 to FK Khazar Lankaran. Despite the loss, they secured a place in the 2007–08 UEFA Cup season thanks to the fact that FK Khazar Lankaran also won the championship. In the UEFA cup they lost 1:0 on aggregate to Groclin Grodzisk.

On 13 August 2007 UEFA declared the club defunct. However, after AFFA's help, they will participate in the Azerbaijan First Division 2009-10.[1] In 2011 the club's owners announced again that club will be dissolved and they will not be participating in the Azerbaijan First Division.[2] However, after a club meeting it was decided that club will participate in 2011–12 Azerbaijan First Division after all.[3]

In 2012, the club's owners announced once again that the club will be dissolved and they will not be participating in the Azerbaijan First Division.[4]

In 2013, the club was re-established and changed its name to Mil-Muğan FK.[5]

Mil-Muğan FK was dissolved in 2018, after funding was pulled from the club.[6]
