The Uzbekistan Football Association (UFA) has launched an official investigation into the words of Nasaf head coach Ro'ziqul Berdiyev. This decision was made after discussions at a press conference following the match between Nasaf and OKMK on October 26th.
It has been reported that the Dragons' coach sparked heated debates among the football community with his statement at a press conference.
They talk a lot about "Neftchi," but we don't stand idle either. We haven't lost in a long time and deserve to be champions. The media is well aware of Neftchi's efforts. If Neftchi fulfills this task, I think the heroes will be behind the field, not on the field," Berdiyev said at the same conference.
His words caused a great stir on social networks and among sports journalists. While some supported Berdiyev as a coach who expressed an open opinion, others viewed this statement as questioning the competition's transparency.
The UFA has officially announced that it will initiate a special investigation into the situation and provide a legal assessment.
"The Football Association of Uzbekistan will conduct an investigation into this situation and give it a legal assessment," the organization said in a statement.
As a reminder, Ro'ziqul Berdiyev is one of the most experienced coaches in the country, leading Nasaf to high results in domestic championships and international competitions. His words, especially in the season when the fate of the championship was being decided, further heated up the sports atmosphere.
Therefore, the outcome of this investigation could impact not only Berdiyev's personal performance but also the overall atmosphere of the national championship. Football fans are now eagerly awaiting the UFA's decision.
