Uzbekistan's 2026 World Cup squad is officially confirmed, named by head coach F. Cannavaro on June 2, 2026. The 26-player roster brings together three goalkeepers, eight defenders, nine midfielders and six forwards. Uzbekistan is drawn into Group K, where it faces Portugal, DR Congo and Colombia. The most-played player in the last 12 months of national-team football is Rustamjon Ashurmatov, with 536 minutes across 6 caps, the squad's most in-form option heading into the tournament. Close behind is Eldor Azamat on 529 minutes, another of the side's most-used players over the same period. Over the past twelve months the team has posted 7 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, scoring 25 goals and conceding 24. Our ranking orders the squad purely by national-team minutes, not club minutes, and every name links to a player profile with the full minutes and recent-form breakdown.
