About the player
Cəlal Hüseynov came through the Zira academy and made his senior debut there in the 2019/2020 season, staying with the Baku club until 2023. A loan to Şamaxı in 2022 gave him regular first-team football, and the side reached the semi-finals of the Azerbaijan Cup that season without going on to lift the trophy.
In June 2023 Hüseynov moved abroad for the first time, joining Bulgaria's Arda Kardzhali. He returned to Şamaxı on loan for the second half of the 2024–2025 season, a deal announced in December 2024 that saw him back in Azerbaijan from January to June 2025 before rejoining Arda. In June 2026 he left Bulgaria for good, signing a two-year contract with Petrolul Ploiești in Romania on a free transfer.
Internationally, Hüseynov rose through Azerbaijan's youth ranks at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level before earning his first senior call-up. He made his debut for the national team on 14 November 2021 in a friendly against Qatar and has since gone on to collect caps for the senior side.
