Arkadag is a professional football club based in Arkadag, a city located in Turkmenistan.
History
2024–25 season
After winning the 2023 Ýokary Liga, Arkadag earned a place in the AFC Champions League Two, but due to only having a license for the AFC Challenge League they entered that competition instead, with Altyn Asyr taking the place in the AFC Champions League Two playoffs.[1] On 22 August 2024, Arkadag was drawn into the group B of the Western section of the competition, against Kuwaiti club Al-Arabi, Kyrgyz Abdysh-Ata and Maldivian Maziya.[2] On 1 November 2024, despite a 2–3 defeat to Al-Arabi, Arkadag qualified for the knockout stages.[3]
In their first knockout match, Arkadag travelled to Kolkata, India to face East Bengal in the quarter-finals, defeating the Indian Super League club by 1–0 on 5 March 2025.[4] The return leg took place on 12 March 2025 at the Arkadag Stadium in Arkadag, where two late Altymyrat Annadurdyýew goals cancelled out Raphaël Messi Bouli's opener to see the Turkmen champions progress to the semi-finals.[5] On 16 April 2025, Arkadag reached the final after defeating Al-Arabi 3–2 on aggregate. On 10 May 2025, Arkadag won the first title of the AFC Challenge League after defeating Cambodian Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng by 2–1 at Morodok Techo National Stadium.
