Latest UAE vs Uzbekistan football commentary
Iran have already secured a place in the 2026 World Cup from Group A, while Uzbekistan are leading by four points with two games remaining, so any result other than a win for the UAE in this match would mean they have to play in the fourth qualifying round.
The UAE kept their top two hopes alive with a 2-1 win over North Korea in March, bouncing back from a 2-0 defeat to group leaders Iran five days earlier.
Despite beating North Korea thanks to Sultan Adil's 98th-minute decisive goal, the UAE Football Association shocked the world by firing coach Paulo Bento and the entire coaching staff just hours after the match.
Cosmin Olaroiu, who led Sharjah to the AFC Champions League final this season, was appointed as the new coach last month and will take charge of his first match with the UAE national team this week.

The hosts have played four home matches in the AFC World Cup qualifiers, and their form has been good — they lost the first match against Iran (0-1), drew with North Korea (1-1), and then won against Kyrgyzstan (3-0) and Qatar (5-0) in a row.
Meanwhile, Uzbekistan had a stable third round campaign with 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 8 matches, only needing 1 point in this match to officially have a ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
The White Wolves took four points from their two March games, beating Kyrgyzstan 1-0 and drawing 2-2 with Iran, with goals from Khojimat Erkinov and Abbosbek Fayzullaev equalising a Mehdi Taremi brace.
The result also marked an impressive start for new coach Timur Kapadze, who replaced Srecko Katanec who was out for health reasons before two matches in March.
In 4 away matches in the qualifying round, the visitors have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, they won both of their most recent matches against UAE and have lost just 1 of their 5 head-to-head matches since 2013 (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss).
