The football team Navbahor resumed its activities at the home stadium after the completion of reconstruction work at the 'Markazi' stadium in Namangan city, located in the Davlatobod district. At the modern arena, filled with thousands of fans, Navbahor hosted the Khorazm team as part of the 15th round of the Super League.
The team 'Lochinlar' did not concede and achieved a convincing 5-1 victory, delighting its supporters. Special attention should be paid to Husain Norchaev, who scored four goals in this game, achieving a 'poker' record and forever inscribing his name in Navbahor's history. Thus, the history of Namangan was rewritten after 12 years.
Previously, the record for the most goals scored by Namangan players in a single match in the national championship was set in 2014, when Ukrainian Ruslan Kachur scored four goals in a match against the club Bukhara (4:1).
The final goal in the game was scored by Ruslanbek Zhianov, who is part of the national team. The Khorazm footballers were only able to slightly reduce the deficit in the first half. Thanks to the big win, Navbahor increased its points to 25 and moved up to 4th place in the standings.
The resumption of operations at the renovated 'Markazi' stadium is considered a significant event for the football life of Namangan. The Navbahor team, being a permanent participant in the country's top league, deservedly returned to its home stadium and gave fans bright moments of triumph.
It is emphasized that in subsequent years, talented footballers from the Navbahor squad have appeared playing for the Uzbekistan national team. This is confirmed by the participation of goalkeeper Utkir Yusupov and midfielder Ruslanbek Zhianov in the 2026 World Cup, demonstrating the high potential of Namangan's footballers.
As a result of the event, it was noted that continuous systematic work is necessary to strengthen the material and technical base of the Navbahor club and provide comprehensive support to the players. Furthermore, it was reported that in the next 16th round of the Super League, Navbahor players will play on the field of the local club Surhon from Termez.
