After Uzbekistani independence, the first Championship of Uzbekistan was played in 1992, and Sogdiana was included in the Highest League of the country. In that season, Sogdiana sensationally won bronze medals, and the championship was divided by Pakhtakor and Neftchi Ferghana because of the same number of points, and therefore silver medals were not awarded in that season to anyone.
