Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan have announced their final 26-man World Cup squad on June 2, giving head coach a clear set of options for the tournament. The side's World Cup campaign got off to a rough start with a 2-0 defeat to Canada in a warm-up friendly, underscoring defensive frailties that must be addressed before the competition proper. With the roster now locked, Uzbekistan will look to sharpen their shape and confidence in the remaining friendlies, aiming to arrive in the group stage with a solid foundation.
