Established in 1954, Kairat isn't just one to dismiss as an added number in the long list of world football clubs. Located in the far reaches of Kazakhstan, this squad has turned Almaty Central Stadium into their fortress over the years.
Their total market value, rounded off as per common practice, stands at approximately £10m. This tangible reflection of their worth is endorsed by Transfermarkt.
The relatively small squad, comprising of 13 players, doesn’t seem to have deterred them in any way from serving up a taste of their mettle. Interestingly, the average age of this squad is 30, indicating a well-seasoned group ready to sweat it out on the pitch.
However, it's not just their age or value that makes a statement. This season, Kairat have left their footprints on not one, but three different competitions. A few might overlook their standing at first place in Premier League and their valiant efforts through the Champions League Qualifiers, reaching the Play-Offs. Their venture into the Champions League, reaching the League Phase, speaks volumes about the team's unwavering grit and potential.
