Compared to last year, when the team's value was estimated at 8.025 million euros, there has been a decrease of 395 thousand euros. Analysts report that this reduction is not related to a decline in player quality, but is due to the absence of players with high market value close to one million euros in the squad. Currently, the team is undergoing structural changes, making it more balanced and consistent.
The most valuable player on the national team is forward Joel Kojo, whose value is 600 thousand euros. Other valuable players in the attacking line include Gulzhigit Alykulov, valued at 450 thousand euros, and Atai Jumashov, priced at 375 thousand euros. This group is rounded out by Kei Merk (250 thousand euros), Ernest Batyrkanov (225 thousand euros), and Nurbol Baktybekov (200 thousand euros).
Midfielders remain the most expensive part of the team: their total value exceeds 3 million euros. The leaders in this line are Erbol Atabaev with an estimate of 500 thousand euros, Kairat Zhyrgalbek uulu and Amir Zhaprov, both at 400 thousand euros. Supporting them are Eldiyar Zarypbekov (350 thousand euros) and Magomed Uzdenov (250 thousand euros).
As for defenders, there is stability: Tamirlan Kozubaev is valued at 450 thousand euros, veteran Valery Kichin at 350 thousand euros, while Alexander Mishchenko and Ulanbek Suleimanov have a value of 300 thousand euros each. The goalkeeper position also maintains its standing: Erjan Tokotaev, valued at 450 thousand euros, significantly exceeds other goalkeepers in the country in market value.
Experts note that the Kyrgyzstan national team for 2026 represents an experienced collective with clearly defined leaders. The decrease in overall transfer value is solely related to changes in the squad and the departure of some high-paid veterans, which does not reflect a decline in the overall playing level of the team.
