Adlet Barmenkulov is stepping down as president of the KFF.

The KFF expressed gratitude to Adlet Barmenkulov for his leadership, the resources invested in the development of football, and his dedication to the cause and the team, as reported by BaigeNews.kz.

According to the KFF Charter, a new president will be elected at the Extraordinary Conference of the KFF, the date of which will be announced later.

Barmenkulov became the president of the KFF in February 2022. The federation noted that this marked the beginning of an unprecedented period of growth and progress for Kazakh football.

An achievement for the entire country was the historic victory of the Kazakhstan national team in Division C of the UEFA Nations League in 2022. In 2023, the team inspired millions of Kazakhstani fans by earning a record 18 points in the Euro 2024 qualifying tournament, coming just a step away from the final stage.

In partnership with FIFA, a national football academy for young talents under 15 was established in 2024, which will serve as a breeding ground for future stars. The futsal national team has strengthened its positions, moving up to 2nd place in the UEFA rankings and into the top five strongest teams in the world.

Projects for girls, such as the "Menin Oiynym" festival and the Playmakers program, have not only engaged thousands of young female footballers in the game but also laid the foundation for the development of women's football in Kazakhstan.
