New Signing for Uzbekistan National Team — A Chef and a Nutritionist!

As preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup intensify, the Uzbekistan national football team has introduced an important addition to its staff: a Spanish head chef and a professional nutritionist. Their mission is to manage the players’ nutrition on a scientific level, accelerate recovery, and maintain peak physical condition throughout training camps and competitions.

 Every Meal Now Has a Purpose

The new specialists will closely monitor each player’s daily diet:

• meals tailored to energy expenditure and recovery needs;

• nutrition programs supporting muscle regeneration;

• balanced intake of vitamins and minerals;

• special menus for training and match days.

This approach aligns with modern sports nutrition standards used by top European clubs.

 Important Friendly Matches Ahead

In November, under the leadership of Fabio Cannavaro, the Uzbekistan team will travel to Dubai to face Iran, Egypt, and Cape Verde in a series of friendly matches — a crucial test on the road to the 2026 World Cup.

With such detailed preparation both on and off the pitch, the national team aims to reach a new competitive level.
