Forward League is a 1st division basketball league in Kyrgyzstan. There are 5 teams in the league. The teams are: Ak Bars, Mobile Network, Manas Bank, KokJal, and Tulpar. Last season, 2009-2010 ended with a perfect season for Tulpar and they won the league title. Mobile Network came in 2nd place and Ak-Bars came in third. The league was mostly sponsored by the government. As the citizens of Kyrgyzstan know that the government of Bishkek did not exist for a couple of days and everyone that sponsored the league, escaped the country. Most of the players in the league played In Europe and moved to Bishkek for various reasons. 50 percent of people in the league are professionals and the rest are amateurs. The league is back with the 2010-2011 season and is ready to make Kyrgyz history with another perfect year of basketball in Central Asia. Right now, there is a league planned and there are 6 teams playing in it. The teams are: Ak Bars, Dinamo, Mobile Network, Chui Region, Issyk-Kul, and Kok Jal. The league started on the 20th of November and is going to be a half-year season.
