“Flashscore”: Uzbekistan is on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup!

Flashscore, an international statistics platform popular among football fans, has published an analytical article on the most important matches and the chances of the teams on each continent ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round. It focuses on the developments in the Asian region, in particular Group A.

According to the publication, the Iranian national team has already qualified for the final stage from this group, while Uzbekistan is very close to participating in the World Cup for the first time in its history.

“Not losing on the road against the third-placed United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi could open the door to a historic success for the Uzbeks. If Timur Kapadze’s team can at least draw, the Central Asian country will reach the World Cup final,” Flashscore analysts say.

Qatar’s chances are limited

The article also discusses the current Asian champion, Qatar. It is said that the maximum result that the team can show is third or fourth place. This can only take them to the next qualifying round.

Qatar will first host Iran in the last two rounds, and then travel to Uzbekistan. Flashscore notes that a specialist with extensive international experience - former coach of "West Ham", "Real Madrid" and the Spanish national team - Julen Lopetegui has now started working as the head coach of the Qatar national team.

Conclusion:
The qualification process in Asia is getting more and more intense. According to Flashscore's analysis, the Uzbekistan national team is on the verge of the biggest stage in its history. Now everything depends on the decisive match in Abu Dhabi. We wish our national team good luck in qualifying for the World Cup!
