Kuruvchi is NO MORE!

Yesterday the Tashkent-based club by the name of Kuruvchi abandoned their name which they acquired in 2005 when they were founded. After winning the semi-final of the Uzbek Cup against AGMK Almalik, the board of PFC decided to change the name of the club to Bunyodkor. The reasons for this had been stated by Tavakkal Kadyrovich, vice-president of the club:

"Kuruvchi founded in middle of 2005 and in the beginning club had an amateur status. At the beginning club was found for members one of our structures for worker-builders and to visit football matches when they had a free time and to watch beautiful matches and share victory of their team together and relax their nerves after hard work. In a word we tried to organize for them spare time and I think with the given task we completely satisfied. In each year Kuruvchi grows to the top with high progress. In a short time we have progressed and conquered high positions in Uzbekistan but in Asia too. Progressing in sport results we reached to a level which should satisfied in modern professional football club. Taking into account all stage of changes and novelties in the history of our club we decided to rename club to Bunyodkor"




Kuruvchi/Bunyodkor were not the only ones who progressed to the Uzbek Cup final. The others were their rivals Pakhtakor, who crushed Neftchi Ferghana 3:0.
