In Houston, Texas, a massive march was held in support of Uzbekistan's national football team, making its debut at the World Cup. Over four thousand fans from various US states and other countries marched to the stadium waving national flags.

The event was part of the Tourism Committee's program to promote the country's tourism brand. It began in Mexico City with the opening of a fan zone and national stand, continued in Houston with cultural and gastronomic events, and will be presented in Atlanta on June 27.

Thus, the largest World Cup host cities are becoming venues where millions of fans get acquainted with Uzbekistan — tasting national cuisine, discovering traditions and crafts.

According to organizers, this format helps present the country as an attractive tourist destination and strengthen its international recognition.
