Manchester City analyzed our national team through Abdukodir Khusanov
The Uzbekistan national team has successfully completed the third stage of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. In the last match held in Tashkent against Qatar, our players achieved a convincing 3-0 victory and further strengthened their high standing in the group. Thanks to this success, our national team became one of the first ten countries to guarantee participation in the World Cup.

The recent success was widely covered not only in national mass media but also in international publications. In particular, the actions of 21-year-old defender Abdukodir Khusanov, who played the entire match, were specially noted by his nurturing club, Manchester City.

In an analytical article published on the club’s official website and written by Jack Manford, not only Khusanov’s personal statistics but also the whole team’s game was thoroughly analyzed. According to the article, Khusanov completed 70 accurate passes, demonstrating high efficiency, and only Husniddin Aliqulov managed to make more passes than him in that game.

In the Tashkent clash, the goals were scored by Aziz Turgunboev, Eldor Shomurodov, and Igor Sergeev. The 21-year-old defender showed reliable and stable play at the back.

Uzbekistan dominated the match throughout: delivered 18 shots on goal, completed 446 accurate passes, while the opponent made only one shot on target.

Uzbekistan’s victory over Qatar was the sixth in the qualifiers, and in total, the team collected 21 points in 10 matches. This has been recorded as one of the most successful qualifying campaigns in the history of the national team.

For Khusanov, this tournament was especially significant — he did not miss a single minute in the last eight matches, and throughout the tournament, the national team conceded only five goals. As a central defender, he established himself as one of the main pillars of stability, reliability, and team discipline.

During his career in the national team, the central defender participated in a total of 22 matches, and now he will have the opportunity to prove himself at the world’s most important football event — the World Cup, which will be held next summer in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

Thus, Uzbekistan has become one of the ten national teams in the world to already guarantee a place in the 2026 World Cup.

Now Abdukodir Khusanov is returning to the Manchester City academy and will begin preparations for the Club World Cup, which starts on June 15. The tournament will be held in the USA, and “City” will face Juventus (Italy), Al-Ain (UAE), and Wydad (Morocco) in the group stage.

Thus, our national team’s qualification for the World Cup has aroused great interest not only among our compatriots but also among Europe’s leading clubs. Khusanov’s current form could make him one of the main heroes not only at City, but also at the World Cup.
