Club History
The team was created in 1959 under the name "Textile Worker" Kirovabad. Then it was renamed to “Tereggi” ( azerb. Tərəqqi - progress) and “Tohuju” ( azerb. Toxucu - weavers, textile workers). In 1989, the team received the name "Kapaz" by the name of the mountain , near which the city of Ganja is located. In February 2005, Kapaz changed its name to Ganja. Thus, the president and management of the club decided to glorify the name of the second largest city in Azerbaijan. [2] But in 2011, the team regained the old name "Kapaz".
