The Uzbekistan national team, led by Fabio Cannavaro, has completed preparations for their second friendly match within the October training camp. This time, the team will face Uruguay — a nation with a rich footballing history.
The match will take place in Malacca, Malaysia, at the “Hang Jebat” Stadium and will kick off at 17:45 Tashkent time. This game will not only serve as an important test for the new head coach, Fabio Cannavaro, but also as an opportunity to evaluate the team’s tactical progress in action.
For the “White Wolves,” this meeting marks another step on the road to the World Cup. In their first friendly, Uzbekistan defeated Kuwait 2–0. Now, their next opponent will be the two-time world champion, Uruguay.
The South American side previously beat the Dominican Republic 1–0. This encounter is seen as a valuable experience and a lineup test for both national teams.
Cannavaro’s players aim to demonstrate their distinctive football style and put their coach’s tactical ideas to the test on the field. The coaching staff will use this game to further assess the team’s overall potential.
