Tuv Buganuud, a modest Mongolian football club, has gained unwanted attention for setting the record for the worst start in the history of top-tier football leagues.
Last season’s fifth-place finishers in the Mongolian Premier League, Tuv Buganuud faced significant financial difficulties ahead of the new campaign, leading to the loss of their entire first-team squad.
Forced to field inexperienced players from their academy and lower-tier leagues, the club suffered a disastrous start to the season. Tuv Buganuud lost all nine opening matches, conceding 111 goals and scoring just two.
Their heaviest defeat came at the hands of Deren, who inflicted a crushing 21-0 loss. Even their smallest margin of defeat, a 0-4 loss to Khangarid, ended in a technical defeat due to Tuv Buganuud’s inability to field a full team.
Key Points:
– Tuv Buganuud sets record for worst start in top-tier football leagues
– Mongolian club loses all nine opening matches
– Combined score: 2-111
– Heaviest defeat: 0-21 vs. Deren
– Smallest margin of defeat: 0-4 (technical defeat) vs. Khangarid

Tuv Buganuud’s struggles serve as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by smaller clubs in maintaining competitiveness.
