Established in the mid-1950s, Kairat call Kazakhstan's Almaty Central Stadium their home. Nestled in the heartland of Kazakh football, this team has managed to etch a considerable reputation over the years.
When it comes to the financial metrics of the game, Kairat proclaim a rather respectable squad market value at approximately £13m (as per Transfermarkt). This may not compare to the monstrous figures floating around the upper echelons of football economies, but it's nothing to scoff at either.
Kairat's playing squad is nice and lean, composed of 13 players who don the club's crest on their hearts. Bearing an average age teetering on 29 – an age generally deemed the footballer's peak – the squad holds a fine balance of youthful vigour and mature wisdom.
Truly committed to the multi-faceted realm of football competitions, Kairat have thus far thrown their proverbial hat into three different rings this season. Their efforts have seen them perched at the very top in the Premier League, while they concurrently tackled a challenging journey through the Champions League Qualifiers, and continued to fight their way in the league phase of the oft-coveted Champions League.
