100% state shares of LLC "Pakhtakor Futbol Klubi" are offered for sale

According to Presidential Decree No. PD-102 of 24 March 2023, the privatization of football clubs has been defined.

According to the Asian Football Confederation, holding football clubs by a single state organisation creates an obstacle to the formation of a healthy competitive environment. To date, football clubs remain owned by state organisations and enterprises with state participation, with the state remaining the overall beneficiary.

In turn, this situation is not in compliance with international principles. Accordingly, it is planned to step by step increase the share of the private sector by privatizing the most attractive football clubs in the first stages.

Considering the above, in accordance with the relevant privatization programs, the State Assets Management Agency (hereinafter - the UzSAMA) announces the start of the public sales process for 100% state share in "Pakhtakor Futbol Klubi" LLC (hereinafter - the Asset / the Company).

Requirements, for further management and purchase of the state asset:

  • Preservation and development of the football club's activity, promotion to the international level;
  • Using all sports facilities, including the football field, which are on the balance sheet of the football club, exclusively for sports activities;
  • Preservation and development of the academy of the football club "Pakhtakor".

Acceptance of proposals from applicants is carried out through the electronic trading platform "E-auksion" via the link below:
