Uzbekistan national football team head coach Fabio Cannavaro has confirmed the list of players called up for the next training camp, which begins on September 21. A total of 30 players have been summoned, including both domestic league standouts and legionnaires plying their trade abroad. The squad reflects a blend of experience and youth as the team prepares for future challenges.

During the camp, the national team will play three friendly matches. The first is scheduled for September 24 against Iran. They will then face Syria on October 1 and South Korea on October 6. These fixtures will serve as a serious test for Cannavaro's men and provide valuable preparation for upcoming official tournaments.

The goalkeeping department includes Abduvohid Ne'matov, Vladimir Nazarov, Edem Nemanov, and Samandar Muratbayev. In defense, Abdukodir Khusanov of Manchester City is joined by Pakhtakor's Muhammadrasul Abdumajidov, Hojiakbar Alijonov, Sherzod Nasrullayev, as well as Mahmudjon Mahamadjonov (Dynamo Makhachkala), Behruzjon Karimov (Lugano), Jahongir O'rozov (Rubin Kazan), and others.

The midfield list features Umarali Rahmonaliyev (Sabah), Dostonbek Hamdamov, Akmal Mozgovoy (both Pakhtakor), Azizjon G'aniyev (Baniyas), Odiljon Hamrobekov (Tractor), Abbos Fayzullayev (Başakşehir), Jasur Jaloliddinov, Ruslan Jiyanov, Diyor Xolmatov (all Navbahor), Sardor Bahromov (Nasaf), Sherzod Esanov (Bukhoro), Aziz Xolmurodov (OKMK), Azizbek To'lqinbekov (Bunyodkor), and Behruz O'ktamov (Surxon).

Up front, Eldor Shomurodov (Başakşehir) leads the attack alongside Azizbek Amonov (Dynamo), Husayn Norchayev (Navbahor), and Muhammadali O'rinboyev (Antwerp). The squad selection indicates a serious approach from the coaching staff, though the absence of some key players may raise questions among fans.
