Breaking News: Young "Kairat" Talent Earns International Recognition

Rising star Nurlan Dairov has become the first player from FC Kairat to receive a call-up to the Kazakhstan national team, making history for the club and the player himself.

Dairov, a promising 20-year-old midfielder, has impressed with his performances for Kairat in the domestic league and continental competitions, earning him a spot in the preliminary squad for Kazakhstan's upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.

The national team's head coach, Magomed Adiyev, praised Dairov's talent and work ethic, stating that the youngster has earned his call-up on merit.

Kazakhstan, who surprisingly reached the knockout stages of Euro 2024, will face some of Europe's top teams in Group C, including reigning champions Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland.

Dairov's inclusion in the squad is a testament to the growing strength of Kazakhstan's football program, which has made significant strides in recent years.

The player expressed his excitement and gratitude upon receiving the news, saying that it was a "dream come true" to represent his country at the highest level.

Dairov's international debut could come as early as March 2023, when Kazakhstan takes on Italy in their opening Euro 2024 qualifier.
