Turan

The pitch at Turan is no longer the one the older supporters in Nukus grew up watching. Between 2024 and 2026 the ground was taken apart and rebuilt at a cost of around 101.8 billion sums, and the natural surface went with it — what players run on now is artificial turf laid to FIFA quality standards. The same programme of work brought in VAR.

Its age is harder to pin down. No opening date sits in the public record, but football was being played here well before the rebuilding began — matches were staged on the ground as far back as 2010, and its history as the home of Nukus football runs further back still. Amudarya used it from 1976 to 1989. Aral took over from 1990, and Turon and, more recently, Aral Samaly have followed.
