Best finish: 2026 debut
Top scorer: —
Most capped: Eldor Shomurodov (first WC appearance)
Record: 0W – 0D – 0L
Uzbekistan make their World Cup debut at the 2026 tournament — the first Central Asian nation to qualify since the Soviet Union's dissolution. Led by Eldor Shomurodov (Roma, Italian Serie A) and a generation of players developed through Uzbekistan's expanding football infrastructure, they arrive as underdogs with a deep passion for the game across their 36-million population.
Tournament Eras
From Soviet Legacy to World Stage — 2026
1991–2026Uzbekistan's football federation was founded after independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Players from Uzbekistan featured in Soviet squads but never had the chance to represent an independent nation at a World Cup. The 2026 qualification — through the competitive AFC pathway — is therefore a 35-year journey's culmination.
Iconic Moments
Historic World Cup Qualification
Uzbekistan's confirmation of their 2026 World Cup place was celebrated in Tashkent as a national triumph. Becoming the first independent Central Asian nation to reach a World Cup is a landmark that future generations of Uzbek footballers will measure themselves against.
