Season events[edit]
Inter Baku scandal[edit]
On 21 August 2011, Inter Baku - FK Baku game was suspended during last minutes
due referee scandal, therefore game's fate decided after Professional Football League
of Azerbaijan's decision.[1][2] On 23 August 2011, PFL awarded 3-0 technical victory to FK
Baku and announced the following punishments were given to Inter Baku's individuals:
 • Georgi Nikolov, club's chairman: 5 game ban from football
and fined 5,000 AZN.
• Kakhaber Tskhadadze: fined 1,000 AZN.
• Giorgi Lomaia: 2 game ban and fined 2,000 AZN.
Furthermore, Inter Baku fined additional 13,000 AZN for breaching security
regulations.[3][4]
Khazar Lankaran and Turan controversy[edit]
On 6 August 2011, the Disciplinary Committee of AFFA imposed the punishment on the
scandal that took place in two matches. Khazar Lankaran fined 10,000 AZN after club's
fans threw alien objects to the court, injuring the head of Inter Baku's coach Kakhaber
Tskhadadze. Khazar also must play its next two league home matches in an empty
stadium because of its fans' aggressive behavior.[5]
AFFA fined Turan Tovuz 26,000 AZN and moved its next two league home matches on
a neutral ground for injuring referees, breaking PFL camera as well as for refusing to
play at the second half of 2011–12 Azerbaijan Cup.[5][6] The club's president Musa
Suleymanov has been disqualified for five matches and club received technical defeat
of 0-3.[7]
