Squad17 Aug 2026

A muscle injury sidelines Anderson Magrão for 17 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. KAMAZ will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Luka Puzović due for a KAMAZ medical

Everything agreed with Radnik Surdulica, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at KAMAZ

Artem Popov and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Partizan tell KAMAZ: Mateja Milovanović is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match15 Aug 2026

Anderson Magrão the difference as KAMAZ beat Chelyabinsk

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Anderson Magrão. 1‑0 against Chelyabinsk, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Appearance number 100 for Maxim Laikin

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Muhammad Sultonov was the difference for KAMAZ

Marked 7.67. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Kian Visser dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Bogdan Bulgakov kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Squad3 Aug 2026

13 seasons of Ruslan Ayukin

250 appearances across 13 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and KAMAZ know what they have.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Daniil Shamkin was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Artem Popov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Artem Popov and KAMAZ agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at KAMAZ

Artem Popov 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Ferencvaros tell KAMAZ: Philippe Rommens is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market3 Aug 2026

Rubin Yalta watching Savely Ratnikov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. KAMAZ have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Ruslan Ayukin reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Market3 Aug 2026

KAMAZ and Artem Popov are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market3 Aug 2026

36 months and counting on David Karaev

Still no offer on the table, and David Karaev’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

In brief
