In the history of football, 13 years can indeed be a “novelty.
Our footballers will be guests in Tehran during the 8th round of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers. A victory or draw (potentially) in this match could decide the qualification for the World Cup. At the same time, a victory would put an end to Uzbekistan's 13-year-long unfortunate streak. Considering the importance of the game, today, 200 football fans from Andijan have set off to Iran to support our national team directly from the stadium. The match at "Ozodi" stadium will kick off at 21:00 Tashkent time.
We remind you that in the previous round, our national team defeated the Kyrgyz Republic 1:0 in Tashkent.
