From the country
From a new project to the First League
Sardor were established in 2022 in Tursunzoda, a city with a strong football tradition and Regar-TadAZ’s long history. The team progressed through lower-division competitions, gradually assembling a squad to challenge for promotion.
A historic promotion
Sardor finished second in the First League in 2025 and faced Hulbuk of Vose in the promotion play-offs. A 2–2 draw and a 2–0 victory secured the club’s first top-flight place. The team began their debut season at that level under Rustam Khodjaev.
The 2026 cup final
Reaching the Tajikistan Cup final was the highlight of their first year in the top division. Sardor overcame Eskhata of Khujand on the way to the final, then lost 2–1 to Khujand in Istaravshan on 18 October. In the league they continue to fight for top-flight survival.
