The Navbahor Gazette
Squad17 Aug 2026
O'tkir Yusupov is the hero from the spot
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with O'tkir Yusupov: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
Match12 Aug 2026
Cup progress for Navbahor
A 3‑3 win over Bukhara, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
Market17 Aug 2026
Terms done: Shoxmalik Komilov is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Shortan waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Navbahor is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Islombek Mamatkazin goes up and wins it — 7.61
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.61 for the rest of it.
Market17 Aug 2026
Navbahor spend $550.0K to raise the standard
This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $550.0K has been paid because Usmonali Ismonaliyev is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Navbahor go back to the board over Shahzod Toirov
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $85.3K — a club that wants Shahzod Toirov enough to be asked twice.
Market17 Aug 2026
Navbahor say no — this time
The offer from Zhetysu for Petar Antonić was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Navbahor make their move for Shahzod Toirov
$79.0K on the table at AGMK. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
The terraces17 Aug 2026
Navbahor spend $550.0K on the signing the town wanted
It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $550.0K for Usmonali Ismonaliyev, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.
