If you were watching on November 22, 2022, you know exactly what Saudi Arabia are capable of. Arguably the biggest upset in World Cup history came courtesy of Saudi Arabia at Qatar 2022, when they took down eventual champions Argentina in the group stage. The world stopped. Argentina โ with Messi, with a 36-game unbeaten run โ beaten 2-1 by Saudi Arabia in one of the most extraordinary afternoons in football history. That moment proved something about this team that no amount of FIFA rankings could ever capture. On the right day, against the right opponent, Saudi Arabia can beat anyone.
The road to 2026 took a dramatic turn when the Saudi Football Federation sacked Hervรฉ Renard on April 17, just weeks before the tournament, turning to Greek coach Georgios Donis as his replacement. Renard had overseen the Argentina upset and brought real credibility to the role โ losing him so close to the tournament was a genuine shock. Donis was direct at his squad announcement: "I want to see my team from the first game very organized, very disciplined, to show our ambition." A new manager, a new system, and a World Cup starting in weeks. Saudi Arabia go into this tournament with more unknowns than most.
Captain Salem Al-Dawsari โ 2025 AFC Player of the Year โ leads the side with 108 caps and the kind of big-game experience this squad needs. Firas Al-Buraikan leads the attack and finished as Saudi Arabia's top scorer in AFC qualifying. Almost the entire squad plays in the Roshn Saudi League, with RC Lens right-back Saud Abdulhamid the only European-based selection โ an unusual concentration at a modern World Cup, but one that gives the squad a familiarity and collective understanding that more dispersed squads sometimes lack.
Group H pits Saudi Arabia against Spain, Uruguay, and Cape Verde. On paper that is a brutal draw โ two former World Cup winners and a debutant side with nothing to lose. Advancing would be a massive achievement. But Saudi Arabia have already shown the world once that paper means nothing when they cross that white line. The Argentina game will never be forgotten. The question for 2026 is whether this squad, under a brand new manager, can find that level again when it matters most.
They've done it before. That counts for something.
