Port FC vs Beijing Guoan – A Night to Remember at BG Stadium
Port FC and Beijing Guoan brought contrasting histories and recent form into their AFC Champions League Elite clash at BG Stadium.
Port FC, founded in 1967 as Port Authority of Thailand FC, is one of Thailand’s oldest clubs. Nicknamed the Port Lions, the Khlong Toei side built a strong reputation through multiple Kor Royal Cup titles in earlier decades and later FA Cup successes, including 2019. While they have never claimed the modern Thai League crown, they remain a passionate top-flight club known for energetic support and competitive football.

Registan Square stands at the heart of Samarkand as one of the most complete architectural ensembles in the Islamic world. The name means Sandy Place in Persian, a reminder that this open plaza once served as the commercial and civic center of the medieval city. Framed on three sides by monumental madrasas, the square forms a vast outdoor room of turquoise domes, soaring portals, and intricate tilework.
On the western side rises the Ulugh Beg Madrasa, built between 1417 and 1420 by the astronomer-king Ulugh Beg, grandson of Timur. Organized around a central courtyard with four iwans, student cells, and lecture halls, its high portal is covered in refined geometric star patterns in deep blues and gold. Four slender minarets mark the corners. This was a leading center of learning where theology, mathematics, and astronomy were taught side by side.
Facing it is the Sher-Dor Madrasa, constructed between 1619 and 1636 by the governor Yalangtush Bahadur as a deliberate mirror of the earlier building. ...
The Bibi-Khanym Mosque (Bibi Khanum, Bibi Khanom or similar variants) stands in the heart of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, as one of the grandest architectural achievements of the Timurid Renaissance and, in its day, among the largest and most ambitious mosques in the Islamic world.
Construction began in the spring of 1399, specifically on 7 May according to contemporary accounts, shortly after Timur (Tamerlane) returned from his victorious campaign in India. He ordered the building of a monumental congregational Friday mosque for his capital, drawing on the vast spoils of war, including the labour of craftsmen from Persia, Azerbaijan, India and elsewhere, as well as nearly a hundred war elephants pressed into service to haul materials.
The mosque is named after his chief wife, Saray Mulk Khanum (popularly known as Bibi Khanym), the daughter of a Chagatai khan. A madrasa and mausoleum associated with her stood nearby across the road.
The complex formed a vast rectangle measuring roughly 167 meters by 109 meters,...
