Another crucial stage has begun in Uzbekistan's youth football. The Uzbekistan U-21 national team, which is thoroughly preparing for the U-23 Asian Cup in 2026, will hold its next training camp at the National Football Center from December 7-23. This training camp is important not only for improving physical fitness, but also for strengthening team cohesion.
Under the leadership of Ravshan Haydarov, our youth have set a goal to organize high-quality pre-tournament recovery processes. The head coach sees this training camp as a foundation for a worthy participation in the Asian Cup. In addition to uncompromising training, two important friendly matches await our team:
- On December 27, a test match against the Jordan U-23 team;
