FC Istaravshan (Tajik: Клуби футболи Строшан) is a Tajik professional football club based in Istaravshan, that competes in the Tajikistan Higher League. The club was folded in 2013, but has since reformed.

History

In 2004, under the name "Uroteppa", they finished as runners-up to Aviator Bobojon Ghafurov in the Tajik Cup, whilst finishing 6th in the Tajik League. In 2012, the club's stadium underwent a $3 million renovation, upgrading its capacity to 20,000 seats. The Istaravshan Sports Complex was officially re-opened on 27 October by Emomalii Rahmon, president of Tajikistan. At the end of the 2013 season, Istaravshan ceased to exist due to financial problems, being replaced by FK Daleron-Uroteppa, after a failed merger between the two clubs.[1] On 14 March 2019, Tokhirjon Muminov was appointed as manager of Istaravshan.[2]
