Irmatov stops refereeing to become vice-president of Uzbek FA

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Football Association of Uzbekistan that took place this summer, Ravshan Irmatov was elected vice-president of the UFA.
“I want to express my gratitude for the high confidence placed in me by the respected President Shavkat Miramanovich Mirziyoyev and all of you. In addition, I express my gratitude to all the leaders and specialists of our football, who in different years made their invaluable contribution to the development of our football. Honestly, for me to be on the football field seems more comfortable than staying here. But my conscience will not let me stay away knowing about the serious and responsible tasks facing our football, since I love my country and football. Of course, football is a team game. If we are all united, worthily and fairly will honour our veterans, experts, fans and all like-minded people will work together and serve one purpose, I am sure that we will overcome any difficulties. I would like to once again thank all of you”, said Ravshan Irmatov, the new vice-president of Uzbek FA. (Source: UFA)
