AFC U-23 Cup: Kyrgyzstan's footballers lost to Saudi Arabia by a narrow margin
In the first match of the AFC U-23 Cup, which is taking place in Saudi Arabia, the Kyrgyzstan national team faced the tournament hosts. In the 34th minute of the game, Arsen Sharshenbekov was sent off, putting the Kyrgyz players in a difficult position as they spent a significant part of the match with one player less.

Kamchybek Tashiev, who is in Saudi Arabia, was following the events on the field. His presence became known through a video on social media where he performs Umrah.


We remind you that the AFC Cup for players under 23 started on January 6 and features 16 teams. The Kyrgyzstan national team, which has qualified for this tournament for the first time, is competing in Group "A" alongside the teams from Vietnam, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
