The Uzbekistan U-20 national team is seriously preparing for the upcoming competitions. From January 27, the youth began training camps at the National Football Center and showed good mood in the very first test match.
The team, led by Jamoliddin Rahmatullayev, played a friendly match against Olimpik-MobiUz on February 1st. It was a truly "youthful" fight: speed, struggle, goals - everything was there. In the end, the U-20 won 3-2, decorating the first stage of the training camp with a positive result.
Now the second part of the preparations is much more important and interesting: from February 2 to 10, the training camp will continue in China. During this trip, Rakhmatullayev's team will participate in two friendly matches against China U-20 from February 4-9. These matches are a "real test" for the team: for speed, tactics, and morale.
The composition involved in the training is as follows:
Goalkeepers:
- Alishan Abdutalipov (Olimpik-MobiUz)
- Ibrahim Shokirov (Neftchi)
- Nematullah Rustamjonov (Andijan)
Defenders:

In short, the U-20s are currently "gathering their form," and the next stage will become a real test with matches in China. If there are both good results in two sparring sessions, and more importantly - the right conclusions and correct steps, this team will be ready for the big stage later.
