The Uzbekistan national team participated in the World Cup, which was held in the venues of the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Despite the team leaving the tournament in the group stage after three consecutive defeats, positive aspects for the 'White Panthers' were also noted.
For example, Abbozbek Faizullaev scored the team's first goal at the World Cup in the match against Colombia, thereby adding his name to the history of Uzbek football. Furthermore, Eldor Shomurodov's magnificent shot into the goal of DR Congo allowed him to win the 'Best Goal of the Group Stage' award, provided by 'Hyundai.'
According to the official FIFA website, Fabio Cannavaro's students maintained their hardworking and technique-based style throughout the tournament. Although they became slightly fatigued as the games progressed, players such as 18-year-old Behruz Karimov understood what is necessary for world-class competition and plan to actively strengthen these initial steps over the next four years.
