11-year-old disabled boy Jahongir Sodiqov brought the official match ball onto the field ahead of the World Cup match between the national teams of Uzbekistan and Portugal.
The match took place on June 23 in Houston, USA. Before the game began, Jahongir had the honor of taking the official FIFA match ball onto the field.
It is noted that he earned this opportunity after winning a children's contest organized in partnership between Kia and the FIFA World Cup 2026.
This match, held as part of the Uzbekistan national team's first appearance at the World Cup, became an unforgettable event not only for the players but also for young fans.
