The Obod Sentinel
Match26 Sep 2026
The wait goes on for Obod
10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Islom Ahmedov puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Obod, and it is not being withdrawn.
Match28 Sep 2026
Obod are in real trouble now
Position 15, 0 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

A falling-out at Obod
Rustam Komilov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match26 Sep 2026
A bad afternoon for Obod against Bukhara
0‑1 to Bukhara, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Mirzo Akhmedov answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Nodir Ahmedov gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Islom Ahmedov knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Islom Ahmedov trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
