National team members passed doping tests: who were selected?

As we reported, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) special doping control commission visited the Uzbek national team's headquarters in the UAE and tested several of our players.

According to journalist Nodirkhozha Yuldashev, who is currently with our team in the UAE, AFC representatives selected four players from the Uzbek national team and took doping samples from them.

This important and responsible procedure was successfully completed by Pakhtakor defender Khozhiakbar Alijonov, Nasaf's young talent Abdurauf Buriev, experienced midfielder Akmal Mozgovoy, and Sogdiana's talented player Sherzod Nasrullayev.

It should be noted that the AFC regularly conducts such tests among players of all national teams in order to strictly adhere to the principles of fairness and integrity in sports. This time, the test is also a standard procedure carried out before an important match.

The Uzbek national team is on the verge of a crucial match against the UAE in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Doping control is carried out before any major competition to ensure healthy and fair competition among athletes.

At the same time, our national team is preparing with all its might to justify the fans' trust and achieve an important result, focusing all its attention on tomorrow's match. Uzbek football fans are also expecting a bright victory and an important step towards qualifying for the World Cup from our national team.

Passing doping control of our players is an official process that occurs before international competitions, which protects the health of the players and the honor of the athlete. The results of these tests are usually announced later.

We wish our national team good luck in the upcoming match!
