Uzbekistan has expressed interest in hosting Formula 1.
Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali has repeatedly said that a large number of countries are interested in hosting a Grand Prix. Recently mentioned were South Korea, Thailand, Portugal, Germany, Turkey, South Africa and even motorsport-exotic Morocco and Rwanda.
Now Uzbekistan has been added to that impressive list. British journalist Joe Saward writes that representatives from Uzbekistan traveled to the Singapore Grand Prix to hold preliminary talks about possibly staging a Formula 1 round in the future.
Sport is currently in the spotlight in Uzbekistan. The national football team has qualified for the final tournament of the FIFA World Cup for the first time, which will take place in 2026, and in early December the FIA Champions Gala award ceremony and the election of the FIA president will be held in Tashkent.
