Before the upcoming match between the national teams of Uzbekistan and Russia, an additional spectacle has been planned: a game between the media squads of the two countries. This meeting will take place on November 10th on the field, bringing together bloggers, artists, and prominent figures from football.
The Uzbek team will be represented by well-known performers and bloggers such as Khamdam Sobirov, Mitti.me, Bek Vines, Azimchik Vines, Komil Benom, and Badriddin Khusniddinov. They will be joined by veterans of Uzbek football: Odil Akhmedov, Server Jeparov, Ignatiy Nesterov, Anzur Ismoilov, Timur Kapadze, and Mirjalol Kosimov.
The Russian media squad includes blogger Mikhail Litvin, Anar Abdullaev, Philipp Voronin, as well as former Russia national team striker Roman Pavlyuchenko.
The match will be held according to the media football regulations. Organizers hope that this event contributes to increasing interest in mass sports and promoting a healthy lifestyle, as one of the key goals of this format is to bring football closer to a wider audience.
The festive program will begin on November 10th at 16:00. Before the start of the game, Ruhsoraemm, Adel, DJ King Maccarella, as well as the groups 'Bojalar' and 'Benom', will perform for the public.
