The Obod Sentinel
Squad14 Sep 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Jahongir Abdumo'minov
93 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Obod lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market14 Sep 2026
Mirzo Ganiev asks to leave Obod
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Match12 Sep 2026
Obod end the wait against Lokomotiv
It had gone 6 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
One of their own: Aziz Mirzaev
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Match12 Sep 2026
Obod get the job done against Lokomotiv
A 1‑0 win over Lokomotiv, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
Davronbek Rahmonov stays at Mashal as time runs out
A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Obod will try again when the window opens; Mashal may not be selling by then.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Bobur Hasanov takes the honours
Marked 7.84 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Obod had the best player on the pitch.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Abdulla Komilov, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
Squad14 Sep 2026
The first one for Bobur Hasanov
Every signing waits for it and every press conference asks about it until it comes. It has come, Obod have their man off the mark, and the second one is always easier.
