Match8 Aug 2026

A hiding for Obod

Beaten 0‑5 by Neftchi, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market10 Aug 2026

Akmal Komilov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Market10 Aug 2026

Pakhtakor come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Obod did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Sherzod Tukhtasinov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Sherzod Tukhtasinov and Obod agree another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Obod

Sherzod Tukhtasinov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Eldor Ismailov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Eldor Ismailov

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Eldor Ismailov, and the manager let it.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Obod dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Doniyor Akhmedov turns it into his own net

Nobody's fault and entirely his: a goal that goes into the book with his name against it and nothing about it intended. Obod deserved better, and so did he.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Obod

0‑6 against Sogdiana, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Eldor Ismailov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jasur Fayzullaev keeps Obod in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 30 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Sherzod Tukhtasinov in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Obod this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Obod and Sogdiana in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jaloliddin Ganiev stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jaloliddin Ganiev and Obod agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Nodir Nematov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eyes on Akmal Masharipov again

The phone has started ringing about Akmal Masharipov again, and this time the name on the line is Metallurg. Obod are listening politely and promising nothing.
