Abduqodir Husanov's birthday celebrated in the football world

Abduqodir Husanov, a well-known player of the Uzbekistan national football team, is once again in the spotlight. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This time, it is not his actions on the field but the date of his birthday that is attracting fans' attention. Our talented footballer continues to celebrate his birthday, and these joyful moments are supported not only by our compatriots but also by the football world around Manchester City.

Abduqodir Husanov was born on February 29. As is known, this date appears on the calendar only once every four years during a leap year.

For this reason, Husanov officially celebrates his birthday every four years but receives congratulations at the beginning of March. This year was no different.

Having turned 22, Abduqodir was congratulated by Manchester City club through their social media pages. Fans of the club worldwide also warmly responded to this heartfelt greeting.

One of the most interesting congratulations came from Erling Haaland. The famous Norwegian striker humorously congratulated Husanov, writing, "Happy 5th birthday!"

This joke actually refers to the fact that Abduqodir's February 29 date has appeared on the calendar only five times. Haaland's humor created a warm atmosphere among the fans.

Erling Haaland treats Abduqodir not only as a teammate but also as a friend. Having transferred from France's Lens club to Manchester City in January 2025, Husanov quickly adapted to the team and established good relations with leading players.

Haaland's congratulation also shows the friendly environment between them. Manchester City transferred Abduqodir Husanov for 40 million euros.

This transfer was considered an important part of the club's renewal and generational change. After Husanov, several new players joined the club's ranks.

This indicated that a major reconstruction process was underway in Josep Guardiola's team.
