The team finished the group stage in first place in Group C, earning 5 points from three matches, which secured them a direct spot in the playoffs. All matches in this group took place in Bishkek.
In the last group stage match, held on October 31, "Muras United" drew 1:1 with the Kuwaiti club "Al-Arabi." Although a victory was missed, this result was enough to secure the leading position in the group.
On the field in this match was Emirhan Kydyrshaev, the son of the head of the State Committee for National Security, Kamchybek Tashiev, who came on in the second half and strengthened the team's attacking potential.
The quarterfinal matches of the AFC Challenge Cup are scheduled for spring 2026, and the name of "Muras United"'s opponent will be known later, after the draw.
The advancement of the Manas club to the playoffs of the international tournament is a significant achievement for Kyrgyz football and demonstrates the progress of local teams on the Asian stage.
