In the qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, the Kazakhstan national team recorded another major defeat. In the away match against Belgium, the Kazakhs left the field with a score of 0:6. This was the fourth consecutive defeat, with a total of 1:12 in the last four games.
After the match, the head coach of the Kazakhstan national team, Ali Aliyev, in a conversation with journalists, took all the blame.
- I'll say it briefly. The full responsibility for today's result lies on my shoulders. I don't blame any players, because they did everything they could on the field. These are my mistakes. Therefore, I intend to write an application and resign. "Upon returning to our country, I will inform the president and the leadership of the Kazakhstan Football Federation about this decision," Aliyev said.
These words of the coach, who has faced various criticisms since the beginning of the season, have generated significant interest among the football community. Because the national team has only 3 points in 5 games and is in 4th place in Group J.
It is not yet known how officials and fans will react to Aliyev's decision and who will be appointed in his place. One thing is clear - serious measures need to be taken to improve the situation in the qualifying matches against the Kazakhstan national team.
Therefore, it is natural that this situation around the national team will be widely discussed in the coming days.
