President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan has gifted cars to the national football team’s players after securing a first ever appearance at the FIFA World Cup. Qualification was secured following a goalless draw at United Arab Emirates.
Each player received a car as reward for the milestone during a celebratory ceremony that took place after the team’s return from the UAE. Vehicles from BYD were handed to the players after the Chinese car manufacturer opened a factory in Uzbekistan in 2024.
In addition to the car gift, the President signed a decree awarding several players and coaching staff with honorary titles, along with state orders and medals in recognition of their achievement.
