Zeytulayev: Expect More Uzbek Players at the Highest Levels Soon Read More

Former Uzbekistan national team midfielder Ilyos Zeytulayev shared his thoughts on the prospects of Uzbek footballers in light of Abdukodir Khusanov's transfer to Manchester City.

Are there any other players in Uzbekistan who might soon attract the attention of European clubs? I recently returned to Uzbekistan after many years away, and I am pleasantly surprised by how much football is developing in the country. The federation is investing a lot of resources into infrastructure, building stadiums, and allocating funds to academies. So, football in Uzbekistan is reaching a new level. In the near future, we will see more Uzbek players competing at the highest level.

Khusanov moved to Manchester City from Lens for 50 million euros and made his debut for the English club in a match against Chelsea on January 26.
