Tashkent allocates 5 billion soums to Pakhtakor: what is known about the mayor's decision

The mayor's decision and the mechanism for allocating funds

On October 29, 2026, the mayor of Tashkent signed decision No. 565-14-0-Q/26 allocating 5 billion soums to the Pakhtakor football club. The document was adopted taking into account appeals from the city administration for managing municipal assets and from the club itself, reports Kun.uz. Under the decision, the first deputy mayor for finance, economy and poverty reduction must submit to the supervisory board of Tashkent Invest Company a proposal to transfer the funds to the club, and, together with the company, work out measures for their allocation.

Control and reporting

The Center for Managing Municipal Assets has been instructed to use the allocated funds to increase the city's share in the club's charter capital and to ensure the targeted use of the money. Oversight of the decision's implementation has been assigned to First Deputy Mayor D. Khudaybergenov. A report on the use of the funds must be submitted to the Tashkent City Council of Deputies.

What remains unclear

The document states that the money must be spent in accordance with an estimate approved by the club, but it does not specify the particular areas of expenditure or the amounts for each. Thus, the decision does not make clear what exactly the 5 billion soums will be spent on — debt repayment, infrastructure, or the club's day-to-day operations. The original document has been published in the e-qaror.gov.uz database, which makes it possible to verify its contents directly.
