On July 23, 1993, the city of Agdam faced a devastating attack as it came under artillery fire from the army of the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. The relentless bombardment left the city in ruins, with the population fleeing to safer areas or seeking refuge in the capital of Baku. Among the affected population was a staggering 60,000 individuals, who had lost their homes and were now forced to become refugees in their own country.
Amidst the chaos and destruction, the football team of Agdam emerged as a beacon of hope and resilience. Qarabag, led by coach Gurban Gurbanov, quickly became the embodiment of this obsolete city, striving to keep it alive for the devastated population. Their remarkable journey began with their participation in the Europa League groups, followed by reaching the Champions League group stage, which left the whole of Europe in awe.
This book delves into the story of Qarabag's incredible sporting feat, exploring how the club's two-horse logo has become an emblem of an entire people, representing their struggles, suffering, and unwavering dream of one day returning home. It sheds light on the resilience and determination of the Azerbaijani people, who have faced numerous challenges throughout their history but continue to hold onto the hope of a brighter future. Through the triumphs and hardships experienced by Qarabag, this book serves as a testament to the power of sports to unite and inspire communities, even in the face of adversity.
