FC Arkadag of Turkmenistan endured another setback during its training camp in Turkey, losing a friendly match to Moldova’s Milsami on January 31. The match ended with a 3–1 scoreline in favor of the Moldovan side.

The only goal for the Turkmenistan-based club was scored by Begench Akmammedov from the penalty spot. Earlier in the game, Arkadag had an opportunity to take the lead, but Welmyrat Ballakov missed a penalty attempt in the opening minutes.

This result marked Arkadag’s third straight defeat during the Turkish camp. Previously, the team from Turkmenistan narrowly lost 0–1 to Dynamo Makhachkala and later suffered an identical loss against Kosovo’s Dukagjini.

So far, Arkadag’s sole victory in the camp came on January 19, when the club defeated another Kosovo representative, Feronikeli, 2–0. These matches form an essential part of Arkadag’s international preparation and contribute to the growing presence of Turkmenistan in competitive football environments.
