From Turkmenistan, across Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan, to powerhouse Uzbekistan - we have a look at the Central Asian region and the current situation of their local football.
Games broadcasted in a day’s delay, an abandoned match and a screen of uncertainty - all hide the transparency. These should have been the most promising days for Turkmen football. Instead, controversy remains the overwhelming talking point.
After the turbulence incidents of past week, this week’s matches in the Yokary Liga of Turkmenistan resumed the status quo in the table.
Turkmenistan is the only current Central Asian country to play football. Matchday 6 was played in mid-week, as the coronavirus pandemic shuts down activities in neighboring countries.
The Tajikistan Higher League played its final match-day before suspending its activity due to covid-19. From now on, Turkmenistan’s Yokary Liga is the only representative for Central Asian football.
