Play-offs, a club reaches the Champions League for the first time

The Champions League is definitely made for dreams.

This Tuesday, August 25, the first part of the second-leg final playoff matches was played.

Sabah Baku hosted H. Beer Sheva after losing 2-1 in the first leg. Naturally, there was a sense of revenge in the air.

The Azerbaijani club managed to force extra time before eventually winning 5-2.

Founded in 2017, the club quickly climbed the ranks. A first appearance in the Conference League during the 2023-24 season, then the Europa League in 2025-26.

This time, it is Europe’s top competition that will welcome Sabah Baku.

What’s more, the club is the westernmost on the continent. From Paris to Baku, it is roughly 3,800 km as the crow flies!
