"İstanbul Başakşehir" and Uzbekistan national team striker Eldor Shomurodov spoke about the national team's prospects at the 2026 World Cup.
Idman.Biz reports that Uzbekistan is in the same group as Colombia and Portugal at the 2026 World Cup.
"Of course, we are all preparing. Moreover, we have a new coach, which is very exciting. There is a lot of excitement in the country right now. People are watching and following the national team. Everyone is very happy for us. We want to get out of the group. That is our main goal. We don't want to go to the tournament just to participate; we want to prove ourselves," said Shomurodov.
Uzbekistan will participate in the World Cup for the first time in its history.
The World Cup will be organized by three countries: USA, Canada and Mexico. For the first time in the history of the tournament, 48 national teams will participate. The championship will be held from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
