Uzbekistan Flags – Uzbek Flag, Bunting & Hand Flags

The Uzbekistan flag: a crescent and twelve stars

Uzbekistan’s flag has three horizontal bands of blue, white and green, separated by two thin red lines, with a white crescent moon and twelve white stars in the upper hoist corner of the blue. The blue is the sky and water, and recalls the flag of Amir Timur, the fourteenth-century ruler of Samarkand. White stands for peace and purity, green for nature and fertility, and the red lines for the life force that flows through all living things. The crescent is a symbol of the newly independent republic, and the twelve stars are usually explained as the twelve months of the year and the signs of the zodiac, a nod to the astronomers of Samarkand such as Ulugh Beg. The flag was adopted on 18 November 1991, a few months after independence from the Soviet Union. The stars on our Uzbekistan flag are set in the official three rows of three, four and five.

Independence Day, Navruz and the White Wolves

Independence Day on 1 September is the main national holiday, with a concert and fireworks in Tashkent, and Navruz, the Persian New Year on 21 March, brings sumalak cooking, music and flags across the country. Sport has given the flag a new profile: the national football team, the White Wolves, reached the 2026 World Cup, the first in their history, and the team bundle for that tournament is in this collection. Uzbek boxers, wrestlers and judoka are regulars on Olympic podiums, and chess players such as Nodirbek Abdusattorov have made the country a force at the board. In Britain the Uzbek community is centred on London, with many students and professionals, and the flag appears at Navruz festivals, Independence Day receptions, university Central Asian societies and among travellers back from Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva on the Silk Road.
