On February 6, an extraordinary meeting of the Executive Committee of the Uzbekistan Futsal Federation was held. During the meeting, Nadir Eliboyev stepped down from his position as head coach of the national team. This was reported by the federation’s press service.

“The Executive Committee of the Uzbekistan Futsal Federation expresses its gratitude to the national team’s coaching staff for their work over the past period and wishes them success in their future endeavors,” the official statement said.

A decision was also made for the entire coaching staff of the Uzbekistan national futsal team to resign along with Nadir Eliboyev.
