Chance to see Ronaldo in Andijan: ACL 2 could be a sensation

The Asian Football Confederation has officially announced the list of teams participating in the club competitions for the 2025/26 season. This year, even greater interest and excitement await Uzbek football fans. Because two teams will defend the honor of our country on the international stage.

As we all know, Karshi's Nasaf club will start its journey in the Elite stage of the Asian Champions League (ACL) directly from the group stages. Ruziqul Berdiev's young and talented players will play their first match on September 15. This year will be a new test and a year of even greater goals for the "dragons".

Another noteworthy news: the Andijan team, as the holders of the national cup, will participate in the ACL 2 competition. Andijan's players will also start their international journey from the group stage, and Maxim Shatskikh's players will play their historic first match on September 16. This is expected to be an unforgettable event not only for “Andijan”, but also for football fans of the entire region and the country.

The most interesting thing is that the famous Saudi Arabian club “Al-Nasr” will also participate in the ACL 2. If Cristiano Ronaldo extends his contract, there will be an opportunity to see the world football star in Andijan! This will definitely be an event not only in Uzbekistan, but also in the entire Asian football field. “Al-Nasr” will also play in the group stage in the western region with “Andijan”.

All clubs will find out their opponents in their groups after the draw ceremony on August 15. Fans are living in the hope of seeing football star Ronaldo live in their homeland, perhaps for the first time.

Undoubtedly, this season will be a great opportunity and a testing period for Uzbek football. We wish both our teams good luck and victory! Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
