The club has taken part in the championship of Turkmenistan since 1992.
From 1996 the club added Eskavatorshik to their name. In the winter break of the 1997-1998 Championship, the club changed its name to Jeyhun.
Since 2002, the club has been called Garagum. That year the team won the Cup of Turkmenistan, and among the leading players were Vitaly Alekperov, Zarif Ereshev, Yazguly Hodjageldiev, Berdy Nurmuradov, and Nikolay Yermilov (their goalkeeper, who saved two penalties in the shoot-out in the Cup final).
In 2003, the team was suspected of intentional failure to check out the games, which is why the club missed the 2nd part of the championship.
Because of financial difficulties, they did not participate in the championship of Turkmenistan until 2008.
In 2013, the club began performing under the name Bagtyyarlyk-Lebap.[1]
