Turkmenistan center back player zafar signed to the kartalspor . kartalspor is a division one, club. its a club from istanbul city. zafar had trial there,and they liked his perform and signed him officialy.
Wikipedia should be quite updated : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkmenistan_national_football_team 2 playing in Russian leagues, 1 in Latvia , 1 Greece , 1 Kazakhstan and 1 Azerbaijan .
Would of thought there would be more around Europe.. But then in terms of the national team, the domestic league is of decent level too..
I saw Turkmenistan Football team training back during Challenge Cup 2008 here in Hyderabad(India),they are very physical very European like.
