The new season is about to kick off and the fans are tingling with excitement. It’s all to play for as Maqtaaral welcome Altay for the opening game at Ortalıq Stadion. Read on!
The hosts Maqtaaral saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the First Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Aktobe.
