Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan have locked in their final 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, moving into the last phase of preparation. A 2-0 defeat to Canada in the most recent warm-up highlights a shaky start to the build-up, prompting the coaching staff to tighten the backline ahead of the decisive final friendly. With the tournament looming, the team will aim to sharpen cohesion and confidence in New York, hoping the last rehearsal restores momentum before the opening match.
