Pavel Solomin: "We must not miss the 'golden' point in the match against Iran"

For Uzbekistan, each match in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round has become the last, akin to a final. Tomorrow, the "white wolves" will face Iran away.

A victory in this match will bring us very, very close to the World Cup. Ahead of this match, former national team player Pavel Solomin shared his thoughts.

"We support the Uzbekistan national team with all our heart and soul. Naturally, we are looking forward to the match with Iran with great enthusiasm. We are literally one step away from qualifying for the World Cup.

I am confident that our chances are very good. We need to use this in the match with Iran and get a "golden" point. True, it will not be easy. The opponent is a good team, and moreover, they play at home. But our national team has a lot of skilled and qualified players. We need to do everything we can to achieve a positive result.

Our skills were clearly demonstrated in the match with Kyrgyzstan, we were superior in all aspects. I wish our team to perform even better and qualify for the World Cup ahead of schedule," said Pavel Solomin.

For your information, Solomin played 15 matches for the Uzbekistan National Football Team between 2006 and 2008, scoring 2 goals. The meeting with the Persians will start tomorrow at 21:00. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
