Today, March 25, the national football team of Kyrgyzstan will play its first match of 2026.

The team, led by Robert Prosinečki, will meet Equatorial Guinea during their training camp in Turkey. The match is scheduled to start at 20:00 Bishkek time and will take place in Antalya.

This match will be the 190th official match for the Kyrgyzstan national team and the first in their history against a team from Africa.

It is worth noting that in 2024, the team under the guidance of Maxim Lisitsin also held training camps in Turkey, where they played a friendly match against the Algerian club "Oran," which ended in a 0:0 draw.

It is also worth mentioning the encounters of clubs from Kyrgyzstan with African teams.

During the Soviet era, the football club "Alga" went on a tour, during which several matches were held against African clubs.

Additionally, one of the teams from Nigeria visited Kyrgyzstan for a series of friendly matches with local clubs.

According to FIFA, the Kyrgyzstan national team ranks 103rd in the world ranking, while Equatorial Guinea is in 107th place.
