# FC Shakhter-Bulat

FC Shakhter-Bulat (Kazakh: Шахтер–Болат футбол клубы, romanized: Shakhter–Bolat fýtbol klýby) is a Kazakhstani football club based in Temirtau. It was previously known as FC Bolat CSKA (2004) and FC Bolat MSK(2005). It currently plays as the farm club of Shakhter Karagandy.

## History

Formed as Metallurg, the club was known as Stroitel between 1969 and 1977 before adopting their current name. They were a leading side in the Soviet-era game, winning the Kazakh SSR Cup seven times, including five consecutive triumphs between 1972 and 1976. Initially the club transferred their status to the independent Kazakhstan, and were founding members of the Kazakhstan Super League. However, barring a 7th-place finish in 1994, they were one of the weaker sides and were relegated to the Kazakhstan First Division in 1998. The club returned to the top flight in 2005, but set an unwanted record by drawing a single match and losing 29 to set a record low for points gained in the Kazakh premier league. They are currently First Division members.

On 11 December 2015, Bolat announced they would not be taking part in the 2016 Kazakhstan First Division, and would fold.
