Tamila Baktiyarova: “Freedom QJ League gives you the feeling of real, big-time football”

She played 13 out of 14 matches, recorded 144 defensive actions, made 48 interceptions, won 98 of 156 duels (63%), and completed 453 passes — 314 of them accurate (69%). Three of her passes even resulted in goals.

Tamila shared her reflections on the season and emphasized how important the League’s media work is for the development of the game.

“The season went really well for me. Kairat is my team, and we truly are like a family. It wasn’t easy, but we worked long and hard to claim first place. Winning the title means a lot to us.

I want to highlight the high quality of the League’s media coverage. Recording the matches from multiple cameras and broadcasting them on sports channels gives you the atmosphere of real professional football. Interviews and analytical breakdowns add motivation and create a special environment. It’s a great experience for players.

The joint social media posts with the Freedom QJ League account are also very encouraging. They build confidence and make you feel that your work is being noticed. People start recognizing you, following the games, and showing interest in the results. For a footballer, this is important, because today media presence is also part of professional growth.”
