The Neftchi Baku 2012–13 season is Neftchi Baku's 21st Azerbaijan Premier League season, and their third season under manager Boyukagha Hajiyev. Neftchi participated in the Second and Third UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds, defeating FC Zestafoni of Georgia in the Second round before losing to Ironi Kiryat Shmona of Israel in the Third round. This meant that they dropped down into the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League Play Off Round, where they defeated APOEL of Cyprus 4-2 on aggregate to qualify for the group stages of the Europa League for the first time. In the group stages they were drawn against FK Partizan of Serbia, Rubin Kazan of Russia and Internazionale of Italy. They also won the Azerbaijan Premier League for the 3rd time in a row, and completed a domestic double by defeating Khazar Lankaran on penalties in the Azerbaijan Cup final.

Neftchi Baku 's Home Kit

Neftchi Baku's Away Kit

gollark: Few thousand.

gollark: Not even specifically CBs. Each prize.

gollark: Nobody liked my idea of moving each prize to a random scroll each month.

gollark: The best solution is just to increase the winners per month massively and/or add them to the market.

gollark: I doubt anyone has FIVE.
