Since there was no time to find a replacement or take any action, FFK board decided that there would be only 13 teams participating in 2009 season of Kazakhstan Premier League. [7] However, on 5 March 2009 Kazakhmys addressed a letter to FFK revoking their decision and stating that they would guarantee financing of the club to participate in the Premier League. [8]
On 20 March 2009, FFK board decided that the 2010 season will feature 12 clubs. [9] The bottom three teams will be directly relegated while the 11th-placed team will play a relegation play-off against the runners-up of the First division. [10]
