The AFC Vision Asia department’s plan includes a comprehensive report compiled after an assessment visit to Uzbekistan and a football development strategy for the Central Asian country.

Football administration and management, clubs and competitions, grassroots and youth, coach education and referees development have all been taken into consideration while drafting the plan.

A two-day planning workshop will be held at AFC House at a later stage to agree upon and finalise the plan whose implementation will commence immediately after the workshop.

Ensuring full professionalisation and commercialisation of the Uzbekistan League and its clubs will be a key issue for the workshop.
