Today, an important meeting dedicated to the U-20 World Cup, which will be held in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in 2027, was organized with the participation of the leadership of the Football Association of Uzbekistan and the FIFA delegation. In short: we have a big tournament, a big responsibility, and now the work has officially begun.
At the beginning of the meeting, FIFA representatives congratulated Uzbekistan on hosting this prestigious competition. They emphasized that football in our country is growing rapidly, and through infrastructure and systemic reforms, both the quality of the game and the level of organization are significantly improving. It was also noted that cooperation between the UFA and FIFA is strengthening year by year.
Most importantly, it was not just about congratulations - practical matters were at the center of the discussion. The parties discussed in detail the organizational issues for holding the U-20 World Cup at a high level. Preliminary plans for tournament management, logistics, stadiums, guest reception, security, media, volunteers and functional areas were discussed.
In this process, a coordination mechanism was also determined to ensure that work is carried out in a coordinated manner. That is, it was emphasized that there should be a general plan, clear tasks and a working system of cooperation, not a scheme where “everyone does their own thing”. This is what is most needed in such tournaments: quick decisions, clear communication and a single goal.
At the end of the meeting, it was emphasized that close cooperation would continue for the successful organization of the U-20 World Cup in 2027. For fans, the meaning of this news is simple: Uzbekistan is once again stepping onto the big stage. Now the task is not just to welcome the guest, but to hold the football festival at the highest level possible and show the world in practice that “we are ready”.
What's left? The rest is hard work. 2027 may seem like a long time away, but in football, time flies. So starting now is the right step.
