Abdukodir Khusanov at the 2026 World Cup
Abdukodir Khikmatzhon ugli Khusanov is an Uzbek professional footballer who plays as a centre-back and right-back for Premier League club Manchester City and the Uzbekistan national team. Uzbekistan will look to Abdukodir Khusanov, their centre-back, for anchoring the defence across the group stage.
Uzbekistan go into the tournament as outsiders at 0.1% per Polymarket's live market, and if they are to go deep they will need to manage creativity in the final third, which puts the spotlight squarely on Abdukodir Khusanov. Alongside Eldor Shomurodov, he gives Timur Kapadze's side a spine to build around.
