Turkmenistan U15 Football Team Invited to Yuri Morozov Memorial Tournament in St. Petersburg
At the end of August, St. Petersburg will host the 18th International Youth Football Tournament in memory of USSR Honored Coach Yuri Morozov, featuring teams of players born in 2010 — including the national youth team of Turkmenistan.
According to the organizers, eight teams will participate in the event: Russia’s Zenit, Serbia’s Crvena Zvezda, Kazakhstan’s Kairat, Turkey’s Fenerbahce, Brazil’s Fluminense, along with the U15 national teams of Russia, Belarus, and Turkmenistan.
Since its launch in 2007, the Yuri Morozov Memorial has been considered one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments internationally. In 1980, Morozov led Zenit to its first-ever USSR Championship medal — a bronze. The legendary coach and footballer passed away in 2005 at the age of 70.

Ahal will conclude their AFC Champions League group stage campaign with a match against Al-Hussein. Turkmen football club Ahal will play their final AFC Champions League group stage match against Jordanian Al-Hussein in Amman on December 23. Ahal played three matches in the group stage and earned one point, eliminating their chances of advancing to the knockout rounds. In the first matchday of the group stage, Ahal defeated Indian side Mohun Bagan 1-0 away. However, the Asian Football Confederation later excluded the Indian club from the tournament for failing to appear for an away match against Sepahan and annulled the result of the match against the Turkmen team. In the second round, Ahal lost 4-1 to Al-Hussein at home. In the match against Iranian Sepahan, the Turkmen club put in a solid performance. Ahal lost the first match 1-0 and drew 2-2 in the second. Both matches took place in Isfahan. One of the matches was originally scheduled to take place in Arkadag, but the AFC decided to move the game to Iran.
