A fundraising campaign has been launched in Uzbekistan to support Tajik and Uzbek football legend and former Spartak and Lokomotiv Moscow player Mukhsin Mukhammadiev, who is recovering from several strokes he suffered earlier this year. Fergana.ru reports.
Currently, 58-year-old Mukhsin Muslimovich is undergoing treatment in a Moscow clinic and requires complex surgical treatment and subsequent rehabilitation.
A charity match featuring Dynamo veterans and former players of the Uzbekistan and Tajikistan national teams will take place in Samarkand on September 6. The match will be held under the motto "Mukhsin, We Are With You." Admission is 20,000 soums ($1.70). All proceeds will go to help Mukhsin Muhammadiyev.
