"There have been plenty of extended dynasties across Europe's bigger leagues -- such as Bayern Munich's run of 11 straight Bundesliga championships between 2013 and 2023, nine-in-a-row title runs for Celtic and Rangers in the Scottish Premiership, and Juventus' hold over Serie A between 2012 and 2020 -- but there are some less famous teams who have enjoyed an even greater stranglehold over their domestic rivals."
"Since they were founded in April 2023, they have won all 82 league matches and, unsurprisingly, have claimed three consecutive championships in the Yokary Liga. One factor in this incredible success could be that the club's founder is Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow -- the former president of Turkmenistan. Arkadag means "Protector," the title Berdimuhamedow adopted while in power from 2007 until 2022, when his son Serdar took over as the former Soviet state's leader. The $3.3 billion "smart city" of Arkadag was built to Berdimuhamedow Sr."
Numerous clubs have sustained prolonged domestic dominance across Europe and beyond. Bayern Munich won 11 straight Bundesliga titles between 2013 and 2023. Celtic and Rangers each recorded nine-in-a-row in Scotland. Juventus dominated Serie A between 2012 and 2020. Lincoln Red Imps won 14 consecutive Gibraltarian league titles from 2003 to 2016, a feat matched by Skonto Riga in Latvia. Tafea FC claim 15 straight victories but those wins were against regional selections, raising doubts about comparability. FK Arkadag has won all 82 league matches since its April 2023 founding and claimed three Yokary Liga titles. The club's founder is former president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow; Arkadag means 'Protector'.
