Until the past few years, Turkmenistan were one of the weaker teams in the AFC region, however a recent improvement has seen the team achieve the strongest results in their history. Despite an Asian Cup appearance in 2004, there were few moments of success for the ‘Akhal-Teke's’ however after growing momentum through successful runners-up finish in the 2010 & 2012 editions of the AFC Challenge Cup, Turkmenistan once again qualified for the Asian Cup in 2019. Despite their inexperienced squad losing all three matches, they almost caused a huge upset after a hard-fought 3-2 loss in their opening match against Japan.
Ruslan Mingazov is one of the most prominent Turkmen footballers of his generation and one of the few to have a successful career outside their domestic league. He began his professional career with FC Aşgabat before moving to Latvia's Skonto Rīga in 2009, where he won the league championship in 2010. In 2014, he joined Czech top-flight side FK Jablonec, subsequently earning a move to Slavia Prague in 2016, where he was part of the club's 2016–17 championship-winning squad. Following loan spells with Mladá Boleslav and Příbram, Mingazov moved to Kazakhstan in 2019, representing Irtysh Pavlodar, Shakhter Karagandy and Kaspiy Aktau. He joined Kitchee in March 2022 and quickly established himself as a key player, helping the club reach the knockout stages of the AFC Champions League before winning the domestic treble in 2022–23. His outstanding performances earned him the 2022–23 Hong Kong Footballer of the Year award. Mingazov added another Hong Kong Premier League championship in 2025–26, contributing four goals and eight assists, and subsequently extended his contract for the 2026–27 season. At international level Mingazov was a key player for the Turkmenistan national team from his debut in 2009 until his final cap in 2023, scoring a total of 6 goals in 30 matches for his country.
