The Turkmenistan Football Premier League is preparing for the start of the third round of the competition, which will begin on August 16. As previously reported, the tournament will continue without the participation of the Energetik team, which decided to withdraw from the championship after two rounds. Thus, eight teams remain in the fight for the title of national champion.

The Football Federation of Turkmenistan has updated the tournament table before the start of the third round. The leader of the championship after 16 matches played is Arkadag, which has scored 48 points. In second place is Altyn Asyr with 37 points, and Akhal is in third place with 34 points.

The first match of the third round will be held on August 16 between the Akhal and Ashgabat teams. The next day, August 17, two more matches will be held: Arkadag will play Shagadam, and Nebitchi will meet Kopetdag. It is worth noting that the game between Altyn Asyr and Merv has been postponed to August 27 due to the Ashgabat team’s participation in the qualification of the second Asian Champions League.

August 16, "Ahal" vs. "Ashgabat"

August 17, "Arkadag" vs. "Shagadam"
