One of the coaches of the Uzbekistan national team, Vlado Radmanovich, evaluated the game and the overall qualifying process after the decisive match against the UAE. The coach regarded the qualification for the World Cup as a historic event for the people of Uzbekistan.
“These four years have been very interesting, but at the same time extremely complex and full of challenges. You all know well how complicated the path we have traveled has been. The events related to Mr. Katanes cannot be forgotten. Unfortunately, he is not with us today. But the process that started with him has borne fruit today. Finally, we have secured this qualification, and all our efforts have paid off,” said Vlado Radmanovich to journalists after the match.
The coach emphasized that this success has become a true celebration not only for the national team but for the entire people of Uzbekistan. “This victory is a real holiday for millions of football fans in Uzbekistan, for the supporters who have never held back their support. They have always welcomed us with confidence, believed until the last moment, and this has been a great strength for us,” he noted.
Radmanovich particularly acknowledged the unity within the team and the stable working environment. In his opinion, these factors have been one of the main forces leading to the World Cup.
“We overcame every difficulty together, believed in our strength, and acted with determination. This has been a real test year for the coaching staff, players, technical team, and the entire football community,” said the coach.
The qualification of the Uzbekistan national team for the 2026 World Cup can be regarded as an important event in the world of football. The current result not only elevates sports but also enhances the Uzbekistan brand on an international scale.
