The head coach of the Uzbekistan national team, Fabio Cannavaro, officially presented the list of players called up for the training camp in March. This lineup will demonstrate the team's level of preparedness ahead of the upcoming international competitions.
As is known, our national team will participate in the FIFA Series, which will be held in our country. The tournament will be held in Tashkent on March 27-30. The teams of Gabon, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela are expected to participate in interesting and competitive matches.
Confidence was expressed in the players who demonstrated experience and reliable play in the goalkeeping line. Goalkeepers such as Utkir Yusupov, Abduvohid Nematov, and Botirali Ergashev are ready to reliably defend the team's goal.
In the defensive line, a combination of local and foreign players is noticeable. The inclusion of Abduqodir Husanov, currently playing for Manchester City in England, is particularly interesting for fans. Rustamjon Ashurmatov, Umarbek Eshmurodov, and other defenders are also ready to strengthen the team's defense.
The midfield traditionally remains the richest and most competitive. Players like Umarali Rahmonaliyev, Otabek Shukurov, Azizjon G'aniyev, and Oston O'runov are expected to be key figures in game management, tempo control, and attack organization.
In attack, the team's main hope is experienced and effective forwards. Eldor Shomurodov, Igor Sergeev, and Sherzod Temirov will be responsible for creating dangerous situations in front of the opponent's goal.
