Playing career

[edit]Guvenchmukhamed Ovekov was born in Ashgabat. He began his career with Turkmen club SMM+.
He played for the Ashgabat club Nisa. During the 2000 Commonwealth of Independent States Cup in Moscow, his performance caught the attention of several Ukrainian clubs.

He went on to compete in the Ukrainian Championship, representing Arsenal Kyiv, Borysfen, Vorskla, Zorya, and Kharkiv. Additionally, he played for the Uzbek clubs Navbahor and Khorezm.
Öwekow has experience competing in futsal. In 2007, he became the Turkmenistan Futsal Championship winner with the team Asudalyk. Recognized as the best player and top scorer of the tournament, Öwekow scored 11 goals throughout the competition. In the final match, Asudalyk overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat IPS Motors 5-4, securing the club's first national championship title.[4]
In 2008, he joined the Taldykorgan-based club Zhetysu, where he contributed to the team's sixth-place finish in the Kazakhstan Premier League, appearing in 18 matches and scoring 4 goals. At the start of 2009, he returned to Navbahor, where he had previously played in the 2005–2006 season.
