Tajikistan 2022-23 Home Jersey/Shirt

This is a Macron Tajikistan national team home jersey as worn by the 'Dastai Muntakhabi (national team)' throughout the 2022-23 period.

Since being accepted as a FIFA member in 1994, Tajikistan have slowly developed into a competitive national team. Until recently, they had achieved little success at international with their only major achievement being winning the AFC Challenge Cup in 2006. Over the past few years Tajikistan have progressed significantly, with legendary manager Petar Šegrt leading the national team into their first appearance at a major tournament after they qualified for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. At the tournament, they went in as one of the lowest ranked teams, but surprised many of Asia's heavyweights, recording a draw against China in their opening match and then defeating Lebanon to reach the knockout stages. In their Round of 16 tie, they shocked the UAE and defeated them on penalties, before narrowly losing 1-0 to eventual finalists Jordan in the Quarter-Finals. The team reached an all-time high FIFA ranking of 99 in February 2024 and with their domestic league progressing in recent years, as well as an increasing number of Tajik players moving abroad, hopes are high that they can continue to progress in years to come.
