Market5 Oct 2026

Only the photograph left for Vladyslav Naumets

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Vladyslav Naumets will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ordabasy the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Léo Natel wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Ordabasy can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tidiane Keita 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 Ordabasy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Oct 2026

El'khan Astanov 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.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

When it matters, Léo Natel plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Guy-Marcelin Kilama moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Ordabasy than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

Only the photograph left for Abinur Nūrymbet

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Abinur Nūrymbet will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ordabasy the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Ordabasy to lose Vladyslav Naumets for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Vladyslav Naumets has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Market7 Sep 2026

Ordabasy spend $230.0K to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $230.0K has been paid because Lev Kurgin is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Estudiantes tell Ordabasy: Ian Vera 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Vladislav Kostin 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 Ordabasy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A step back for David Abagna at Ordabasy

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Azat Vorogovskiy signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Azat Vorogovskiy commits to Ordabasy for another 3 years.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

A loan move for Mahmud Jo'raboyev is in the works

Ordabasy have made the call to Mashal. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Bjørn Johnsen named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Bjørn Johnsen is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market31 Aug 2026

Bekkhan Shaizada says no to BATE

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Bekkhan Shaizada had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market31 Aug 2026

Guy-Marcelin Kilama has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Ordabasy they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Muslimbek Habibullayev due for a Ordabasy medical

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

Ordabasy baulk at the price for Ädilkhan Taňzharyqov

Aktobe wanted more than $67.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Ordabasy rebuffed over Lev Kurgin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kairat have kept their man, and Ordabasy go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Ordabasy

Sergei Malyi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Ordabasy

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

A loan move for Vladislav Kostin is in the works

Ordabasy have made the call to Sokol. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
