Uzbekistan women’s national football team

In a decisive match, the players triumphed over Nepal and secured a spot in the final stage of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, which will take place in Australia in 2026. Under the leadership of coach Kotryna Kulbyte, the Uzbekistan Women’s National Team has qualified for the tournament for the first time in 23 years.

After the crucial match against Nepal, head coach Kotryna Kulbyte shared her thoughts:

“We started the match very well and played our game. But then we received a red card. After that, I would say the game was over for us. Honestly, I’m not satisfied with my team’s performance. It was the worst second half we’ve played in a long time. The key thing is that we secured our place in the Asian Cup. That’s a big achievement for women’s football.”
