The current champions of Turkmenistan defeated 2:1 FC Shagadam from Turkmenbashi (Balkan Velayat) in the Turkmenistan Football Super Cup final.
It was not the first final between the teams from the capital and the littoral town of our country. The team from Balkan Velayat lost their rivals in the deciding match of the 2015 Turkmenistan Football Cup. Last year, the team of communications workers FC Altyn Asyr won all the football trophies on the national arena: together a victory in the Premier League Championship and the Turkmenistan Football Cup, they added the Super Cup to their assets.
It should be noted that FC Altyn Asyr made a confident start to the AFC Asian Cup a few days ago. The Turkmen football players won a landslide victory 2:0 over Al-Ahed SC from Lebanon in the group match. FC Altyn Asyr with three points heads Group A where Al-Wehdat SC from Jordan and Al-Hidd SCC from Bahrain are competing for the qualification to the finals.
The footballers from Ashgabat will play their next match on March 8: FC Altyn Asyr will play an away match with Al Hidd SCC.
