Maksim Borisoviç Medvedev (Russian: Максим Борисович Медведев; born 29 September 1989) is a former Azerbaijani football defender. Maksim played his entire career at Qarabağ in Azerbaijan Premier League. He was also a member and captain of Azerbaijan national team.

Club career

Born in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR (present-day Azerbaijan), Medvedev was a product of the Qarabağ youth system. He primarily plays as a right-back defender, but can also be utilized as a left-back or centre-back defender.

Medvedev has spent his entire career at Qarabağ since becoming a professional player in 2006. He is the most capped player in the history of the club and 11th most capped player in the history of Azerbaijan Premier League. He has won the Premier League ten times and Azerbaijan Cup six times with his team. He also holds the record among Azerbaijani players for most caps in UEFA competitions (126 games).

Maksim retired at the end of 2023-24 season, playing his entire career for Qarabağ.

International career

Medvedev made his Azerbaijan U21 national team debut in 2008, having previously played for U17 and U19 teams.

He became a regular starter for the senior national team during World Cup 2010 qualifying games after Qarabağ FK's successful Europa League campaign in 2009. On 3 June 2016, Medvedev lead the Azerbaijan national team against Canada as a team captain. He scored his first international goal on 8 October 2016 against Norway, securing a 1–0 victory for his team. After the retirement of Rashad Sadyghov and Kamran Aghayev from the national team, Medvedev was selected as the new team captain in early 2019. He has led the team as captain in 28 games between 2019 and 2022. He is the second most capped player in its history with 81 caps.
