🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿Uzbekistan have done it!!!!. A 0:0 draw with the UAE has sealed their historic 1st World Cup appearance. Shomurodov, Fayzullaev, Khusanov and Co will see you on the biggest stage in world football. Congratulations to the people of Uzbekistan #WorldCup2026 🏆

Iraqi defender Zaid Tahseen could make history today as being the first player playing currently in the Uzbek Super League to make a @FIFAWorldCup appearance.

🇺🇿 2 days till Uzbekistan make their @FIFAWorldCup debut

Uzbekistan goalkeeper Utkir Yusupov will make history as the first Kazakhstan born player to play at a World Cup.

Uzbekistan born Waldemar Anton has made his World Cup debut coming off the bench for Germany. Luckily there will be at least 11 more people doing exactly the same in a few days.

Predictions on who will score the first goal for Uzbekistan ever at the @FIFAWorldCup? I'm going with Akmal Mozgovoy from a set piece.

Uzbekistan would drop down at least to 51st in the FIFA rankings following the result of Qatar

Can anyone translate? 🤔

Uzbekistan champions Neftchi will take on russian side Zenit in early July in St Petersburg.

With @JamTarts possibly losing their manager to @RangersFC, can I recommend Timur Kapadze as an excellent choice for their club? 🙏🙏🙏😂

Even though they have yet to play a game at this year's @FIFAWorldCup, the Uzbekistan squad has 13 players (50%) who are 29 or above and thus not likely to be present when Uzbekistan qualify for 2030. Will be very interesting to see how the squad takes changes post tournament

This has been stuck in my head all morning 😂🇺🇿

Uzbek forward Shokhboz Umarov has joined Kazakhstan side FC Okzhetpes

A @SweeperPod episode with lots of discussions about Uzbekistan

I hope this referee isn't in charge of any Uzbekistan game as between Khusanov and Urozov, Uzbekistan might end up with multiple red cards 😅😂

🇺🇿 44/48: Uzbekistan are one of four debutants at the 2026 World Cup and will be representing the landlocked AFC nation who gained independence from the former Soviet Union in 1992. Fabio Cannavaro, Italy's World Cup winning captain from 2006, is the man in charge.

Interesting word choice here. Reads as if they won't sell unless they get a decent offer. They could easily flip for a good profit, especially if he has a decent world cup

🇺🇿 Uzbekistan Abdukodir Khusanov - Been impressed by him at City. He’s so fast, strong in his duels and reads the game very well. Comfortable on the ball as well. Has excellent technique and will take risks to play clever progressive passes. Already Uzbekistan’s best player at 22-years-old. Abbosbek Fayzullaev - A small tricky attacker who can play as a no.10 or on the wing. He’s very technically gifted. Starting to adjust to football in Turkey. Ended the season really well and could have a big impact for Uzbekistan at the tournament.
