The team’s history began in 1968. During the Soviet era it played as Volna, Avtomobilist, Orbita and Meliorator. The Kaisar name and Steppe Wolves nickname became an important part of Kyzylorda Region’s football culture. The club’s modern home ground is Kaisar Arena.

Two Kazakhstan Cups

Kaisar’s major trophies are the Kazakhstan Cups of 1999 and 2019. Winning the domestic cup gave the club opportunities to represent the country abroad. Kaisar have yet to win the Kazakhstan league championship.

Relegation and a chance of silverware in 2026

Kaisar finished last in the 2026 Premier League, in 16th place with 25 points, and lost their top-flight status. The season also attracted attention through the signing of former Chelsea player Victor Moses. Despite their league difficulties, Kaisar reached the Kazakhstan Cup final, scheduled against Ordabasy on 7 November.
