On the eve of the UAE-Uzbekistan match: the fight is not on the field, but in the stands

In order to ensure maximum support for its team in this match, the UAE Ministry of Sports has launched a comprehensive propaganda campaign. All sports federations in the country are involved in this initiative, which is being held under the slogan "We are all on the side of the whites."

Uplifting through sports ambassadors

As part of the campaign, video messages were distributed to the public through the captains of national teams of various sports. Through these videos, citizens are urged to provide comprehensive moral and informational support to the "whites" - that is, the UAE national team.

At the same time, it was announced that free tickets are being distributed to members of all national sports teams of the country to watch the match live in the stands at the Al Nahyan Stadium.

Obstacles for Uzbek fans?

On the other hand, according to reports circulating on the networks, UAE officials are trying to limit the active participation of Uzbek journalists and fans. In particular, it is said that there may be problems with bringing into the stadium support equipment such as drums, flags, and loudspeakers brought by Uzbek fan clubs.

This is causing various discussions among fans. Such restrictions, which can affect the atmosphere of the game, are also controversial from the point of view of the universal rules of sport.
