  • The contract for the new head coach of the Kyrgyzstan national football team, Urmat Abdukaimov, is valid until the end of the 2030 World Cup qualifying round.
  • The coach's position will be automatically extended if the team progresses through each qualifying round.
  • The KFS aims to build a long-term project, with the coach retaining his post regardless of the team's performance at the 2027 Asian Cup.

The terms of the contract for Urmat Abdukaimov, the newly appointed head coach of the Kyrgyzstan national football team, have been disclosed by the Football Federation of Kyrgyzstan (KFS). The agreement is set to run until the conclusion of the qualification matches for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

According to KFS General Secretary Meder Sydykov, the contract includes provisions for automatic extension. If the national team successfully navigates through each stage of the qualification process, Abdukaimov's tenure will be automatically prolonged. This structure underscores the federation's commitment to continuity and long-term planning.

Sydykov emphasized that the federation views this as a "long-term project." Consequently, Abdukaimov is expected to remain in his position irrespective of the team's results in the 2027 Asian Cup, which is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia. FIFA has yet to finalize the format and participant numbers for the 2030 World Cup qualifiers, although the 2026 tournament featured 48 teams.

The coach will retain his post regardless of the team's result at the 2027 Asian Cup. We are building a long-term project.
