Dordoi and Bunyodkor have agreed a new academy partnership aimed at strengthening youth development links between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
Representatives of the Bishkek and Tashkent clubs signed a memorandum of cooperation during Dordoi’s youth trip to the Uzbek capital.
Dordoi vice-president Yrysbek Maatkabylov met officials from Bunyodkor’s academy before the agreement was signed.
According to Dordoi, the partnership is intended to establish professional links between the two academies, allow them to exchange experience and support the development of young players.
However, no timetable has yet been announced for joint programmes or potential player and coach exchanges. Financial details were also not disclosed.
Dordoi’s 2014 age group were in Tashkent at the time for the Kelme Cup 2026.
Held at Bunyodkor’s academy from October 31 to November 4, the tournament featured 88 teams.
That visit also brought together two clubs with strong reputations for youth development.
Bunyodkor have long been one of Uzbekistan’s leading producers of young talent, with Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov among the most prominent recent graduates of their system.
Dordoi have played a similar role in Kyrgyz football, with goalkeeper Erzhan Tokotaev among the players to emerge through the Bishkek club before establishing themselves at senior international level.
