The draw, conducted by FIFA Director of Competitions Christian Unger and Australian legend Tim Cahill, showed Uzbekistan will compete with Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Yemen and Singapore in Group D.

We will try to take the first place in the group at the end of this qualifying round" says Eldor Shomurodov.
