Markaziy Stadium, Football stadium in Qarshi, Uzbekistan
Markaziy Stadium is a football stadium in Qarshi, in southern Uzbekistan, with a natural grass pitch and tiered covered stands on multiple sides. It has seating sections for general fans, a VIP area, and dedicated facilities for media and broadcast teams.
The stadium was built in the early 2000s and quickly became the main sports venue for the Qarshi region. Over time, it has hosted national league matches and international fixtures, growing into the area's leading football facility.
The stadium is the home ground of FK Nasaf Qarshi, one of the most followed football clubs in Uzbekistan. On match days, local fans fill the stands and the whole area around the venue comes alive with energy.
The stadium sits near the center of Qarshi and is easy to reach on foot or by local transport from most parts of the city. On match days, it is worth arriving early, as the area around the entrances fills up well before kickoff.
FK Nasaf Qarshi, the club that calls this stadium home, won the AFC Champions League in 2011, a rare achievement for a team from Central Asia. That victory put this stadium on the map for football fans across the continent.
