Cannavaro's trust and debut at the 2026 World Cup

Jahongir Orozov is a product of the Bunyodkor academy and began his professional career there. In 2023, he transferred to the Turkish club Eyüpspor, but failed to break into the first team, appearing in only one Turkish Cup match.

After returning to Uzbekistan and joining Dynamo, he quickly became an irreplaceable leader of the team and received a call-up to the national team.

National team career: The defender was included in the Uzbekistan squad for the 2026 World Cup and played in two matches at the tournament. His inclusion in the starting lineup was due to a serious injury to defender Husniddin Alikulov. Once it was clear Alikulov could not participate in the World Cup, head coach Fabio Cannavaro called up Orozov to replace him.

To date, Jahongir Orozov has played 6 matches and scored 1 goal for the national team.
