2026 Uzbekistan World Cup roster: Complete 26-man team

For the first time, Uzbekistan has qualified for a World Cup.

The former Central Asian nation was a part of the Soviet Union until its collapse, and will be one of four debutants at the 2026 World Cup.

Much of Uzbekistan's roster plays in the country's domestic league, but the team is led by Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov, an idol back home and one of the country's most accomplished players ever despite being just 22.

Uzbekistan has been handed a difficult draw, being placed in Group K along with Portugal, DR Congo and Colombia.

Here are the 26 players Uzbekistan will bring to the 2026 World Cup.
