It has been revealed who recommended Moscow Central Sports Club midfielder Abbosbek Fayzullaev to Turkey's Istanbul Bashakshehir club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This recommendation was made by the City Football Group organization. According to insider source Ivan Karpov, Abbos's transfer was made possible due to the club being part of the holding owned by UAE Vice President Sheikh Mansour. Specifically, his specialists advised the Istanbul Bashakshehir club to offer a contract to the Uzbekistan national team player. One of the additional reasons is that Abbosbek Fayzullaev's current contract with Moscow CSKA expires in 2026. Moreover, the closeness of Uzbek and Turkish cultures, as well as the current opportunities in the banking system, facilitate an easy transfer from Russia to Turkey. Fayzullaev moved from "Pakhtakor" to CSKA in the summer of 2023 and is currently active in that team. This transfer is considered an important step for the player's future.

Sports lawyer Anton Smirnov, a specialist working with striker Vladimir Pisarskiy, evaluated the decision of the "Krylya Sovetov" team to terminate the contract with the player. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The Samara team unilaterally terminated the contract by the employer, relying on the relevant articles of the Labor Code. This article serves as a basis for terminating the contract early if the player is disqualified for more than six months. However, Pisarskiy does not agree with this decision. According to Smirnov, a ban on football-related activities and disqualification are two different penalties, which are clearly stated in the rules of the Russian Football Union. He wrote about this on the Telegram channel "Honesty is not a sin." Vladimir Pisarskiy has been banned from the football field for four years, three of which are conditional. This disqualification was imposed due to his indirect involvement in match-fixing. The striker may return to football next summer.

Olga Smorodskaya, who previously served as the president of the "Lokomotiv" club, expressed her opinion about "Spartak". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Former goalkeeper of Valencia and Real Madrid, Santiago Canizares, shared his thoughts on two Real players – Vinicius Júnior and Kylian Mbappe. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He stated that he does not want to sell anyone. According to Canizares, these players are very good, and the team should be built around them. At the same time, if you want to achieve victory, the team must also perform strongly when they do not have ball control. Last season, 25-year-old Brazilian Vinicius scored 22 goals and provided 19 assists in 58 matches. 26-year-old Frenchman Mbappe scored 44 goals and provided 5 assists in 59 matches. According to Canizares, these players are key pillars of the team, and a project based on them could be successful. He also emphasized the importance of the team showing stability in both defense and attack. Vinicius and Mbappe play a significant role in enhancing the team's competitiveness. Both of them can perform at a high level and lead the team to significant victories. In Canizares' opinion, the club needs to pay attention not only to the attack but also to the defense. This is one of the necessary conditions for winning. Thus, the team must play effectively in all situations. With players like Vinicius and Mbappe, Real's future looks bright.

Apple presented its new flagship smartphones, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, in September. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

It features a 6-core processor and a 6-core graphics processor, and with the second-generation Dynamic Caching technology, it operates 40% faster than before in long-lasting tasks. For the first time in Pro models, a vapor chamber cooling system has been introduced, with the aluminum body aiding this process. The camera system has also been significantly upgraded. Now there are full 48-megapixel main, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras. The telephoto camera offers 8x optical zoom, as well as 4x mode and 3D stabilization functionality.

The ad.nl portal provided information about this. According to the publication, Davids found out several years later that his painting collection had been stolen.

Earlier, she had faced problems related to criminal cases and had left her acquaintance after taking 3500 euros from him.

The general secondary education system in Uzbekistan is undergoing fundamental changes. This was reported by Upl.uz. The country has officially begun implementing a 12-year education model. This was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education. In the near future, a normative legal document confirming these innovations is expected to be signed. This decision was made as part of a comprehensive program to reform the education sector. The program was presented to the president on September 8 and envisions a systematic renewal of all stages from preschool to higher education. The transition to 12-year education is being carried out to align with international experience. The results of the PISA study conducted in 2022 showed that in 85% of countries considered leaders in education, the number of school years is exactly 12. The introduction of the new model will allow adapting curricula to international standards and also enable students to be well-prepared for subsequent stages of education and vocational training. The updated system structure will be as follows: the first year is designated as a preparatory stage for 6-year-old children, which is considered part of primary education. Primary education will last a total of 5 years, including 1 year of preparation and 4 years of primary school. The next stage is basic general secondary education, covering grades 5 to 9 and lasting 5 years. The final 2 years constitute complete general secondary education, which will be conducted in schools, academic lyceums, specialized military schools, or technical colleges. To ensure a smooth transition process and create the necessary infrastructure, about 3,600 new schools will be built and more than a thousand state kindergartens will be opened. It is precisely in these institutions that the updated preparatory program for the youngest students will be piloted. An interesting point is that information about the transition to 12-year education had been actively discussed on social networks since 2023. However, at that time, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education officially denied these claims, emphasizing that the 11-year education system was in effect. The current decision shows that approaches at the state level have been reconsidered and there is political will to implement large-scale reforms. In the history of independent Uzbekistan, a 12-year education system has existed before. From 2010 to 2017, education was organized based on a 9+3 scheme, where students who completed grade 9 were required to continue their studies at vocational colleges and academic lyceums.

According to the President's decree, the ToshTech Technical University will be established in Tashkent city. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This new higher education institution will play an important role in developing modern engineering knowledge in our country and training competitive specialists. According to the decree, the university will have full independence in academic, financial, and organizational management matters. This will allow the educational process to be organized in accordance with international standards. Starting from the 2025-2026 academic year, a one-year preparatory course will be opened at the expense of the state budget. This course will help applicants prepare for complex subjects. From the next year, that is, the 2026-2027 academic year, bachelor's degree programs will begin operating at the university. Students will have the opportunity to receive education in modern subjects. Additionally, from the 2027-2028 academic year, master's and postgraduate programs will also be gradually introduced. Studying at the university will be organized on the basis of state grants and tuition contracts. Classes will be conducted not only in Uzbek but also in foreign languages. This will enable students to gain international experience and expand their knowledge further. The most important aspect is that all students admitted by the 2029-2030 academic year will receive completely free education based on state grants. Through this initiative, ToshTech Technical University will play a significant role in enhancing the engineering and research potential of our country, as well as creating new opportunities for young people (source: zamin.uz).
