Controversy

Istiklol was founded[50] and is said to be owned by Rustam Emomali, the son and heir apparent of the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon.[51], who also served captain of the team until 2012. On June 14, 2011, a Istiklol victory after a disputed play was awarded to them by referees led to violent riots that saw 16 people injured and at least 20 arrested.[51] In 2012, five players of rival team Ravshan Kulob were sanctioned with suspensions or fines for "unruly behavior" after defeating Istiklol 1-0.[50]
