The Uzbekistan national football team, which arrived at the World Cup in the USA, was greeted like criminals. This is reported by anhor.uz .

According to the agency, the athletes were subjected to enhanced security checks before the friendly match against the Netherlands in New York.

Upon arrival at the stadium, all players and members of the delegation were inspected using metal detectors. At the same time, the service dog, together with the cynologist, examined the luggage of the team. The reasons for the increased security measures have not been officially announced.

According to some sources, the increased security measures could be related to the possible arrival of US President Donald Trump at a basketball match nearby. However, there has been no official confirmation of this information.

However, the video materials available on the Internet indicate that the Dutch national team was not subjected to such strict control by law enforcement agencies.

It became known that enhanced security measures were also taken for the Senegal national team. The players and team representatives were checked for documents, luggage and sports equipment, and in some cases a personal search was carried out.
