This marks the first Central Asian football school established in the USA by an official professional football club from Asia.

 The purpose of this project goes far beyond football training. It aims not only to develop young football talents but also to bring children together, strengthen national identity, preserve Tajik culture and traditions, and maintain a strong connection between the younger generation and their ancestral homeland.

The opening ceremony was attended by FC Istiklol legends and former players Komil Saidov, Akmal Saburov and Sohib Suvonqulov, as well as Nodir Dustmatov, former manager of FC Istiklol’s futsal team.

As part of the event, an exhibition training session was held, bringing all the children together on the pitch in an atmosphere of friendship, teamwork and mutual respect.

 Traditional Tajik food was prepared for the children and their parents, creating a warm, welcoming and family-oriented atmosphere at the stadium.

 The opening of FC Istiklol Football School in the USA represents not only an important milestone in the club’s international development but also a meaningful contribution to uniting the Tajik community abroad and raising a new generation through the values of patriotism, friendship, respect and cultural heritage.

 Istiklol is more than football. It is our culture, our history and our future!

 OUR TEAM — OUR HERITAGE!
