Mancity Looks Into Khusanov’s Family History
Sport
The official Manchester City website introduced Abdukodir Khusanov to its fans, sharing never-before-seen family photos and memories from his loved ones.
The article highlights that just five days after joining the club, Khusanov made his debut in the starting lineup against Chelsea. “If City fans needed to know one thing about the young defender from Tashkent, it was his bravery,” the piece states.
It also explains why Khusanov carries his grandfather’s name rather than his father’s surname, linking it to Uzbekistan’s rich history and traditions. His father, Hikmatjon Khoshimov, also played for the Uzbekistan national team, emphasizing that football runs in his blood.
"Kodir’s impressive performances caught the attention of City scouts, and in January 2025, he signed a contract with the Premier League giants, becoming the first Uzbek footballer to play in England’s top flight."
He still has a long journey ahead. It will take time to adapt to Manchester City, but Pep Guardiola already trusts him, and the fans have embraced him wholeheartedly.
"Kodir is a true warrior on the pitch, yet a humble and serious person off it. City fans might just be witnessing the rise of a future football star," mancity.com wrote about the Uzbek football sensation.
