"Bunyodkor" owes nearly two billion soums for electricity

"Bunyodkor" has accumulated nearly two billion soums of debt for electricity

The "Bunyodkor" stadium, which has been without electricity since September 4, owes nearly two billion soums for power. The Professional Football League of Uzbekistan has appealed for financial support for the sports facility, noting that even a transfer of one thousand soums can help.

According to ProSport.uz, the stadium's difficulties are not limited to electricity debts. Debts to employees, tax authorities, and utility services are also reported.

The financial problems have also affected the football pitch. After concerts held in 2025, the turf had to be restored, but now the stadium has run up a debt to the company that laid the new surface. Due to the debt burden, the condition of the pitch is once again under threat.

The power outage has already affected the operations of the PFL. As previously reported, the league's office, located at the stadium, has switched to remote work, and the servers have been completely left without power. This has affected the quality of television and internet broadcasts of Super League and Pro League matches — the PFL had to use external servers to transmit the signal.

There are also separate financial claims against "Bunyodkor" from foreign football players. FIFA has imposed a transfer ban on the club due to debts owed to the Brazilian Rivaldo and Japanese player Itsuki Urata.

Against the backdrop of the accumulated problems, the PFL has asked organizations and citizens to support the stadium and transfer any affordable amount. The league emphasized that even a transfer of one thousand soums can help.

Earlier, it was reported that due to the power outage, the PFL office at the "Bunyodkor" stadium had switched to a remote working mode. The de-energization of the servers also affected the quality of broadcasts of Super League and Pro League matches.
