Nilufar Qudratova: The stadium atmosphere inspired us

The qualifying stage of the 2026 Women's Asian Cup has entered a heated phase. In it, the Uzbekistan women's national team, attracting the attention of millions of fans with their participation, successfully passed another test. In the match against Sri Lanka, our compatriots managed to score 10 unanswered goals into the opponent's net. With this victory, the team strengthened its leading position in the qualifiers.

In this game, the most prominent football player, without a doubt, was Nilufar Qudratova. She achieved a very rare result — a poker (i.e., scoring 4 goals in one match). At the end of the match, she was also recognized as the "Best Player".

After the match, national team member Nilufar Qudratova shared her sincere impressions with the fans:

— First of all, I want to express my deep gratitude to all our compatriots and fans. The atmosphere created for us in the stadium, the support, gave us the spiritual strength to fight and strive for victory until the end. Playing in such a dedicated atmosphere is a great honor, — she said.

According to Qudratova, the victory is the result of teamwork. Every football player fought tirelessly on the field until the last minutes. Especially, thanks to harmony in attack, mutual understanding, and accuracy in passes, many goal-scoring opportunities were created.

— Undoubtedly, we won this match, but the main work is ahead. There are still a number of important matches in front of us. Accordingly, we need to prepare and enter the field with new strength every time. In each match, we want to show new feelings, new horizons, — Nilufar added.

According to her, regardless of the opponent's opportunities, the Uzbek players fully controlled the game and did not let the opponent get close to any dangerous situations. This shows that not only attacking, but also strong defensive actions contributed to the victory.

It should be noted that the Uzbekistan women's national team will play the next match against the Laos national team on July 2. The main goal in this game is to win again and successfully complete the qualifying stage.

Let us recall that in recent seasons, Nilufar Qudratova has become famous for her active and effective play not only in the national team but also at club level. Her technical skill, goal sense, and diligence serve as an exemplary model for many young girls.

In short, this confident 10:0 victory and Nilufar's brilliant poker are a clear example that Uzbekistan women's football has reached a new stage. Fans now expect the same warm and vivid impressions in the game against Laos. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
