"I was very happy to learn that Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan will host the 2027 World Cup."
These words were said by Bahodir Nasimov, a former football player of the Uzbekistan national team and "Neftchi".
The veteran striker wished both countries success in this responsible task:
"I hope that the national teams of both countries will be in the top three. This will be a great success. The World Cup will contribute to the development of football, and agents will closely monitor the players. Such competitions create great opportunities for young players. If they can show themselves in a good light, the road to strong European clubs will be open to them. For this, football players must already work seriously, analyze their game and approach the work responsibly," he said in a statement to AZERTAC.
According to B. Nasimov, the World Cup will bring great opportunities for both countries:
"The pulse of world football will beat in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. The main thing is that the players show themselves worthy, play well and win. It is necessary to think about this now, not later. I hope that this championship will be successful for both Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, and the two brotherly countries will demonstrate high-level, beautiful football, and will have their say to the whole world."
It should be noted that the decision to hold the U-20 World Cup in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan was made at a meeting of the FIFA Council on October 2 this year.
