Off to Asia? Holgado set to miss play-offs with América de Cali
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here.
América de Cali is already classified for the finals of the Liga Betplay 2025-I, and has just added a win against Unión Magdalena to stay at the top and achieve the advantage of the invisible point.However, Jorge Da Silva could lose an important player for the definition stage.
According to a report by El País de Cali, Rodrigo Holgado could be called up by the Malaysia national team, which plays matches in early June for the 2027 Asian Cup qualification.
According to El País, the Argentine striker, born in Buenos Aires, has relatives from Malaysia, and is already advanced in the process of obtaining nationality, and thus being able to be called up by the national team of that country.
The Malaysia national team plays on June 10 against Vietnam and a few days later against Cape Verde, so Holgado would miss at least three dates of the quadrangular with América de Cali.
If Holgado's call-up to the Malaysia national team is confirmed (which still depends on obtaining nationality and a work visa), the striker would join other expected losses for América on the FIFA date, including Juan Fernando Quintero, who will concentrate with the Colombia national team, José Cavadía and Joel Romero the same, but with the U20 team, and Luis Ramos, already reserved by the Peru national team.

Uzbekistan coach says historic World Cup spot for 'our entire people'
Uzbekistan's coach said "this victory belongs to all of us" after steering the Central Asian nation to the World Cup for the first time in their history. A 0-0 draw at the United Arab Emirates on Thursday was enough to seal the landmark with a game to go in Asian qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in North America. Advertisement The expansion of the tournament from 32 to 48 teams has given traditional outsiders such as Uzbekistan the chance to break into the top ranks of world football. "We have come a long way and achieved an important result," their coach Timur Kapadze said, according to the Asian Football Confederation. "We congratulate our entire people and our president. This victory belongs to all of us. "Yesterday and today the phone calls have not stopped." Uzbekistan started competing as an independent nation in the 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Backed by state funding, Uzbekistan are one of Asia's fastest-developing footballing nations. Advertisement They are ranked 57th in the world. "Everyone said they would support us and pray for us, the wishes for victory were a great inspiration for us," said Kapadze, who replaced Srecko Katanec as head coach in January. "My players showed determination in every game, they did their best, and that is why we achieved the result." Footage shared on social media showed the players, draped in national flags, mobbing Kapadze in the press room after getting the point they needed. Uzbekistan are second behind also qualified Iran in Group A with five wins, three draws and one defeat. They play their final qualifier on Tuesday home to Qatar in the capital Tashkent. pst/rsc
