History
In 2009, 26 young players (born in 1994) were selected by Football Federation of Kazakhstan for training at international football academy Olé Brasil Futebol Clube. After graduation in March 2012, Agency of Sports & Physical Culture of RoK decided to create a new football team named FC Bayterek to participate in First Division and further development of the graduates. Due to young age of players (17–18 years) and possible difficulty playing against older opponents, the club included several experienced professionals. A total of 27 players, 15 of which graduated of the Brazilian academy, were chosen as the final roster. In March 2012 a second group of players (born 1997) was sent to the academy. The third group of trainees (born 2000) were sent to Cruzeiro academy in March 2015.
