On 15 March 2018, Khamdamov was registered by Russian Premier League club Anzhi Makhachkala, taking the #7 jersey after signing an 18-month contract.^[1][7] On 15 February 2019, Anzhi Makhachkala announced that Khamdamov had left the club to join Pakhtakor Tashkent.^[8]

Khamdamov was part of the U-19 squad when they finished in the semi-finals of the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship, where Khamdamov scored one goal only. After that match, Khamdamov would go on to make an outstanding performance in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he scored three goals and produced a magnificent performance as Uzbekistan ran into the quarter-finals before bowing to Senegal. For this performance, he became the first Uzbek player to be nominated as the Asian Young Footballer of the Year.^[12][13]
