History
Soviet era (1959–1991)
Kapaz PFC was founded in 1959 as Toxucu and played in the Soviet First League. However, the team was promoted to the Soviet Top League in 1968 as Dinamo Kirovobad after finishing first in the Soviet First League the previous season. The club has been known as Taraggi and Toxucu during its history; however, it became famous in more modern times as Kapaz when it was renamed in 1982.
Post-Soviet era (1993–1999)
In 1991, the club was once again renamed as Kapaz after Azerbaijan's independence from the Soviet Union and won the Azerbaijan Premier League title three times. At the end of the 1997–98 season, Kapaz finished the season unbeaten.

Why this record matters
The phrase “football club in Azerbaijan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q846357. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1959, 1991, 1968 and 1982.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
