History
The youth (Olympic) team represents Uzbekistan at the Summer Asian Games (U-23), the football tournament of the Olympic Games (U-23) and the Asian Football Championship among youth teams (U-22).
As of January 2018, the Uzbek Olympic team six times participated in the football tournament of the Summer Asian Games, and in the tournament of 1994 became the champion of the Asian Games. Since 2002, players under 23 years old and no more than three players over 23 years old are allowed to play in the Asian Games football tournament [1] . The youth team of Uzbekistan also participated in the qualifying tournament of the Olympic Games 5 times, but so far they have never qualified for the Olympics.
The same team, called the youth team of Uzbekistan, participates in the Asian Youth Championship under 23 years old . As of January 2018, the youth team of Uzbekistan participated in all three draws of the Asian Youth Championship
2012 Olympics
The qualifying tournament for the Summer Olympic Games in London 2012 also ended in failure for the national team: the team was unable to get through the final additional round of the playoffs of the qualifying tournament. After the qualifying tournament for the Summer Olympic Games in London in 2012, the head coach remained vacant and later the coaching staff of the Olympic team (U-23) was dissolved.
Asian Championship 2013 (U-22)
On January 6, 2012, Alexey Evstafeev was appointed head coach of the U-21 team to prepare the team for the qualifying tournament of the U-22 Asian Championship in Oman. Prior to this, Evstafeev successfully worked as the head of the Uzbekistan U-17 team in 2009-2011. U-21 team led by Evstafeev qualified and received a ticket to the Asian Championship U-22.
In December 2013, there was a change of coaches in the U-22 team: the current assistant to the main team Shukhrat Maksudov was appointed head coach of the U-22 team to speak at the 2014 U-22 Asian Championships in Oman, Evstafeev became the head coach of the team. The teamβs performance at the World Cup before 23 in Oman was unsuccessful: the team took third place in Group D with only one victory. Maksudov was dismissed from his post and on February 18, 2015, Bakhtiyor Ashurmatov was appointed the new national team coach.
Asian Championship 2016 (U-23)
At the AFC meeting in Manila on November 28, 2014, it was decided to rename the Asian Championship U22 to the Asian Championship U23 , which should now serve as a qualification tournament for a ticket to the Olympic Games. [2]
Under the leadership of Ashurmatov, the team participated in the qualifying matches for the Asian Championship 2016 to 23 years. Although the national team went to the final tournament, it was only the last fifth team from the number of runners-up that managed to get there. The national teamβs performance in the qualifying games was therefore considered unsatisfactory, since the leadership of the country's Federation set the Olympic team the task of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro by successfully playing in the Asian Championship 2016 under 23 years old.
At a meeting of the FFU on June 23, 2015, it was decided to appoint Viktor Jalilov as the new head coach of the national team under 22 years old. In June 2015, Dilshod Nuraliev, who had previously successfully coached the youth teams before 17 and up to 20 years old, was appointed assistant team.
On November 27, 2015, by the decree of the FFU, Mirabror Usmanov, the new coach of the U-22 team (U-22) was now appointed the former head coach of the national team, Samvel Babayan . His assistant was appointed to the team until the age of 22, Victor Jalilov. [3]
At the Asian Championship 2016, held from January 12 to 30, 2016 in Qatar, the team led by Babayan was unable to leave the group after losing 2 matches: first, South Korea 1: 2 and Iraq with a score of 2: 3. The tournament qualified for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Asian Championship 2018 (U-23)
On April 30, 2017, Ravshan Khaidarov was appointed the new head coach of the Uzbekistan U-22 team. Khaidarov was tasked with qualifying for the Asian Championship 2018 (U-23) in China, and then a successful performance there. The Khaidarov team successfully passed the qualifying tournament for the championship in 2017. At the Asian Championship 2018, the Uzbek team lost the first match in the Qatar 0-1 group, but then won the other two matches and left the group from second place. In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the Japanese teams 4-0 and South Korea 4-1 were alternately replayed. In the final, it was not without difficulty that the Uzbek team in extra time snatched a victory from Vietnam 2: 1. Thus, the youth team of Uzbekistan for the first time became the champion of Asia up to 23 years.
