As a reminder, the Uzbekistan national team has qualified for the final stage of the FIFA World Cup for the first time in its history.
Our representatives faced a strong Colombia national team in their debut match in Group K, losing 1:3 in a fierce battle. However, two more crucial matches remain to keep the chance of advancing from the group. Our compatriots will face Portugal and Democratic Republic of the Congo national teams, with Portugal led by Ruben Dias, who ranks 7th in this rating.
Such high recognition of Abduqodir Husanov will undoubtedly provide additional strength and great confidence not only to the player himself but to our entire national team in the World Cup matches!
