Freedom QJ League takes a step onto the international stage: 700 player profiles, statistics for 264 matches, and the first transfers added to Transfermarkt's database
Youth football in Kazakhstan has reached a new level: QJ League, the key tournament for players under 18, is now represented on the prestigious Transfermarkt platform. Over 700 player profiles, full protocols for 264 matches across two seasons, and the first registered transfers are significant steps toward the popularization and development of youth football in the country on the international stage.
Transfermarkt, a leading international portal specializing in football statistics, transfers, and analytics, now hosts QJ League's data. Its presence on the platform signifies recognition from the global football community. Coaches, players, and scouts can now access detailed information about teams, squads, statistics, and achievements.
Most impressively, the platform already features over 700 individual profiles of young footballers participating in QJ League. These profiles include essential information about players such as age, position, results, and personal achievements. Additionally, the portal provides match protocols for 264 QJ League U18 games from the past two seasons, offering valuable insights into game dynamics, goals, cards, and substitutions. The 2024 season also saw the registration of 9 player transfers on the platform, highlighting the league’s importance as a hub for identifying and promoting talent into professional football.
Another factor drawing attention to QJ League is the valuation of its young footballers. The league’s most expensive player is Ramazan Bagdat from FC Kairat, with a market value of €50,000, according to Transfermarkt. This high valuation underscores his potential and level of play, which have not gone unnoticed.
The second and third most valuable players are also representatives of Kairat: Abulkhaiyr Abdrakhmanov and Ildar Mendygaliyev, each valued at €25,000. These numbers highlight Kairat's dominance in the league and its effective work with young players.
Transfermarkt provides access to QJ League results from the past few years, including the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
In the 2024 season, the league featured 12 teams representing the country’s major football clubs. The leader was Kairat U18, which showcased a bright and consistent performance. The average age of participants was 17.5 years, and 17-year-old Bagdaulet Nuraly stood out as the league’s top scorer with 22 goals.
The 2023 season was also a pivotal stage in the development of QJ League. Teams demonstrated a high level of play, and the league reaffirmed its status as a cornerstone for preparing future professionals. Thanks to the data on Transfermarkt, these achievements are now accessible to a wide range of football experts and enthusiasts.
The presence of QJ League on Transfermarkt is more than just a step forward. It offers hope that, in the future, our players can not only strengthen their positions in domestic clubs but also become sought after on the international stage. After all, every name in the Transfermarkt database represents a story waiting to be told to the world.
Kazakhstan’s youth football is now part of the global football community. The only question is how to use this opportunity to its fullest.
