The Uzbekistan national football team (Uzbek: Oʻzbekiston milliy futbol terma jamoasi / Ўзбекистон миллий футбол терма жамоаси) represents Uzbekistan in international football and is controlled by the Uzbekistan Football Association, the governing body for football in Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan holds the highest competitive results among teams from Central Asia. Although they have never qualified to the World Cup, the team has qualified to every AFC Asian Cup since post-independence formation. At the 2011 Asian Cup, Uzbekistan reached the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time. At other competitions such as the Asian Games, Uzbekistan won the gold medal in 1994 in Japan, while finishing as the runners-up at the Afro-Asian Cup of Nations in 1995.

Nicknames


Uzbekistan vs. Bahrain at Pakhtakor Central Stadium in 2009.
Uzbekistan vs. Bahrain at Pakhtakor Central Stadium in 2009.

The Uzbekistan national team has received several nicknames by supporters and media. The most common one used is "The White Wolves" (Uzbek: Oq boʻrilar / Оқ бўрилар).[2][3][4][5]

Also, the Uzbekistan national football team is called "Asian Italy"[6] (Uzbek: Osiyo Italiyasi / Осиё Италияси). This is due to the similarity of colors (white and blue) clothing teams of Italy and Uzbekistan, as well as similar tactics (defensive football) of these teams.[7] The Uzbekistan Super League is often considered to be similar to Italian Serie A. Also, the history of Uzbekistan is as rich and ancient as the history of Italy.[8]

Also the team of Uzbekistan is called "Huma birds" (Uzbek: Humo qushlari / Ҳумо қушлари). The mythical Huma bird is the national bird of Uzbekistan, and is depicted on the state emblem of Uzbekistan. The Huma bird is depicted on the emblem of the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan.[citation needed]

Sometimes the Uzbekistan national football is called "Turanians"[9] (Uzbek: Turonliklar / Туронликлар), because the current country of Uzbekistan is located in the center of this ancient region Turan, and all the ancient and major cities of this region are located in this country, and therefore Uzbekistan is considered by some to be the successor of the Turan.[10][11]

    [ru] Сборная Узбекистана по футболу

    Сбо́рная Узбекиста́на по футбо́лу (узб. Oʻzbekiston milliy futbol terma jamoasi / Ўзбекистон миллий футбол терма жамоаси) — национальная футбольная сборная, представляющая Узбекистан на международных турнирах и матчах по футболу. Управляющая организация — Футбольная ассоциация Узбекистана. С 1994 года — член АФК и ФИФА, также член ФАЦА. Является одной из сильнейших сборных Азии и стран постсоветского пространства. Является сильнейшей из азиатских постсоветских футбольных сборных, а также одной из сильнейших постсоветских сборных, никогда не попадавших на ЧМ. Начиная с нулевых годов сборная Узбекистана, наряду с Японией, Южной Кореей, КНДР, Австралией, Ираном, Саудовской Аравией, Катаром, Бахрейном, Иорданией и другими регулярно оказывается среди реальных претендентов на одну из путевок на мировое первенство. Ближе всего к заветной цели Узбекистан оказывался в 2013 году, когда дошел до пятого раунда отбора, где в стыковых матчах проиграл сборной Иордании право сыграть в межконтинентальных стыковых матчах за выход на бразильский мундиаль.
