History! Kairat Almaty breaks the ice and qualify for the first time in the main phase of the Champions League

Kairat Almaty is just the second team in Kazakhstan that reaches such performance. Only Astana can boast something in 2015.

Instead, Celtic missed the qualification in the Champions League for the 5th time! In fact, as a result of this result, Kazakhstan accumulated huge points in the coefficient ranking and climbed 34th place.

Kairat, the Kazakhstan champion, is currently in 3rd place, with 43 points after 20 stages. It started in the Champions League still in round 1!

He eliminated Olimpija Ljubljana, 1-1 in Slovenia and 2-0 in Kazakhstan. He lost with Kups, 0-2, but miraculously returned to return and imposed 3-0.

In the third round he made the surprise and passed Slovan Bratislava. It was 1-0 in the tour for Kairat, which eliminated Slovaks at the break. And in the play-off came Celtic's turn, Scotland champion, to be the “victim” of the Kazakhstan band.

Kairat was the only band in Kazakhstan that evolved in the first Soviet League (Soviet Top League) and holds multiple titles and internal cups: 4 champion titles (1992, 2004, 2020, 2024), 10 cups and 3 supercovers.

The stadium on which the matches on their own field dispute has a capacity of 23,804 seats. The striker Dastan Satpaev is the best player, 1.8 million euros.
