FC Shurtan Guzar (Uzbek: Sho'rtan G'uzor Futbol Klubi or Шўртан Ғузор футбол клуби) is a professional football club based in G‘uzor, Uzbekistan.

History

During its first years, the club played in the lower divisions of Uzbekistan. In 2006 FC Shurtan made its debut in the Uzbek League. The 2010 season was the club's most successful, finishing 4th in the league and as runners-up in the Uzbek Cup. In the quarter-final of the Uzbek Cup, they beat Pakhtakor on aggregate and Lokomotiv Tashkent in the semi-final. Shurtan lost in the final, played in Tashkent, to Bunyodkor. The final score was 0–1.

In 2011 Shurtan made its international debut, playing in the AFC Cup. The club managed 2nd place in the group stage, but lost in their one legged round of 16 match against Al Wehdat 1–2.[1]

On 22 November 2011, Shurtan management appointed Igor Kriushenko as new manager, replacing Tachmurad Agamuradov.[2] Kriushenko was fired on 5 July 2012 and replaced by Edgar Gess. Gess was also fired after poor league results in 2013. The club was 14th and relegated. After one year, they were promoted back to the top division.
