Rovshan Meredov: "We can achieve results with our talented youth in CAFA"

Before the CAFA Nations Cup 2025, the head coach of the Turkmenistan national team, Rovshan Meredov, spoke with media representatives about the team's plans and goals.

- We have great respect for all the opponents, but we strive to show our game on the field. Our main goal now is to secure a spot in the Asian Cup," Meredov said.

The coach emphasized that not all of the team's leading players are participating in the training camp due to the fact that FIFA's official days have not yet begun. - For example, Mingazov and Chariyev are not with us yet. But they can be included in the squad before the end of the competition," he added.

One of the media representatives asked about the fact that in recent years, Turkmen footballers have practically not played in the Uzbekistan Super League. Meredov reacted to this question as follows: - This question is not for me. Perhaps these footballers are more needed by our country. Turkmenistan is a country rich in talented youth. If we can show them the right path, we can achieve great results.

According to the expert, for the team, the CAFA tournament serves not only as a training ground, but also as a platform for the players to demonstrate their potential. The fans are eagerly awaiting the performance of the Turkmen players.
