Ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifier between the UAE and Uzbekistan on June 5, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has sent a doping officer to the hotel where the Uzbekistan national team is staying.
According to reports, the officer is expected to collect samples from four Uzbek players for doping control.
The match at the Al Nahyan Stadium is a decider for Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan needs just one point to directly qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
