The draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has been finalized. Uzbekistan, making its debut in the World Cup, has been placed in Group "K", where it will compete against Colombia and Portugal. The fourth team in the group will be determined after the qualification stages.
Reporters from the prominent Colombian publication "Casablanca Sports" shared intriguing comments on the Uzbekistan national team and its group rivals. They highlighted being placed in the same group as Portugal as the most significant event, as these teams have never faced each other before.
Additionally, there was notable interest in Uzbekistan. The journalists remarked that Uzbekistan’s head coach Fabio Cannavaro effectively works within the 3-4-2-1 tactical system, emphasizing that the team’s dynamic style of play is one of its primary strengths. According to them, the Uzbekistan national team has achieved remarkable results and is considered one of the strongest teams in Asia.
"Another opponent attracting much attention is Uzbekistan. Their head coach, Fabio Cannavaro, handles the 3-4-2-1 system with remarkable expertise, and the team stands out with its dynamic style of play. This system has delivered significant results in Asia. They might be a distant and not very familiar country for us, but their football is developing rapidly. Calling the 'White Wolves' one of the strongest national teams in Asia would not be an exaggeration," the journalists stated.
The journalists further noted that Uzbekistan’s football is progressing rapidly and that the team has a high potential for achieving major successes in the future. The World Cup is set to begin on June 11, 2026, and these matches will showcase Uzbekistan’s quest to create a new chapter in its football history.
