The Uzbekistan Football Association (UFA) has launched an official investigation regarding the comments made by "Nasaf" club's head coach Ruziqul Berdiev at the press conference following the OKMK – "Nasaf" match on October 26.
In his statement, Berdiev alluded to the "Neftchi" team in the championship race, saying, "If Neftchi becomes champion, then heroes should be sought not on the field, but behind the field." This statement sparked controversial debates concerning the activities of athletes and referees.
The UFA stated that the investigation is being conducted to ensure football ethics and sports discipline. An official decision will be announced at the end of the process.
