Abzal Talgatuly Beysebekov (Kazakh: Абзал Талғатұлы Бейсебеков, Abzal Talğatūly Beisebekov; born 30 November 1992) is a Kazakh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Kazakhstan Premier League club Astana.
Career
Club career
Beysebekov began his career in 2008 with FC Kairat of the Kazakhstan Premier League, at the age of fifteen. Although he initially played as a forward, he was later frequently deployed as a defender owing to a league regulation, commonly referred to as the "limitchik" rule, which required each side to field at least one player under the age of twenty-one. Limitchik players tended to be placed in "less risky" positions, such as full-back, and the technically and physically accomplished Beysebekov filled this role for several seasons, while continuing to appear as a forward for the Kazakhstan under-21 side.
In February 2014, Beysebekov joined the Polish club Korona Kielce on a six-month loan, following fellow Kazakhstan international Sergei Khizhnichenko.[1] Beysebekov scored his first, and only, goal for Korona in a 4–4 draw with Jagiellonia Białystok on 27 May 2014.[2]
Prior to the start of the 2021 season, Beysebekov was appointed captain of Astana.[3] On 4 May 2024, he made his 400th appearance for Astana.[4]
International career
Beysebekov represented Kazakhstan at every national youth level between 2008 and 2013.
