Poland vs Saudi Arabia: All about Saudi Arabia Football World Cup team

The Saudi Arabia national football team signifies Saudi Arabia in men\'s global football, and the team\'s colours are green and white. Saudi Arabia is known as Al-Suqour means The Falcons and Al-Akhdhar means The Green, the team signifies both the FIFA World Cup team and Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Measured one of Asia\'s most fruitful national teams, Saudi Arabia has won the Asian Cup three times in 1984, 1988, and 1996, and reached a joint-record six Asian Cup finals.

They have qualified for the World Cup six times since debuting at the 1994 competition. Saudi Arabia is the first Asian Football Confederation nation to reach the final of a senior FIFA competition when it attained during the 1992 King Fahd Cup, which would ultimately become the ultimate FIFA Associations Cup. Only Australia and Japan achieved to repeat this feat, in 1997 and 2001, though Australia achieved it when it was a participant of the OFC.

In the 1994 Football World Cup, under the leadership of Jorge Solari, Saudi Arabia beat both Belgium and Morocco in the group phase before falling to Sweden in the Round of 16. Thus, Saudi Arabia became the second Arab state football team in history to reach the Round of 16 in a World Cup, after Morocco\'s Round of 16 removals in the 1986 FIFA World Cup, and one of the few Asian national football sides (others being Australia, Japan, South Korea, North Korea) to achieve such a feat to date.

History of Saudi Arabia Football World Cup team

The impression of a Saudi Arabia World Cup football team first came about in 1951, when a Saudi XI side containing football players from Al-Wehda and Al-Ahli clubs took part in a friendly game against the Egyptian Ministry of Health on June 27, 1951, at the Al-Saban Stadium in Jeddah. The following day, the Egyptians took on a Saudi team made up of players from Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal in Al-Bahri in Jeddah.

On August 2, 1951, His Royal Highness Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal planned a third friendly game with the Egyptian side against a Saudi National XI with players from Al-Wehda, and Al-Ahli. By then the idea of a World Cup team to represent the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was already in full flow, and in 1953 the first-ever Saudi team travelled to play friendly games abroad. The same year, a Saudi Arabia team travelled to Damascus to play friendly matches as part of then, Crown Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz’s visit to the country in April 1953. 

In 1957, the Saudi Arabia Football World Cup team took part in their first global competition at the 2nd Pan-Arab Sports in Beirut, where King Saud was requested to attend the opening ritual and the inauguration of the Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium with Lebanese President Camille Chamoun on October 18, 1957. The first game played at the stadium was between the national squads of Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. Abdul Majeed Kayal counted for the Saudis while Levon Altonian achieved for the home side.

The Saudi Arabia football team players came from teams from Jeddah and Mecca, while the team was given funding and inspiration from Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal for their journey to Beirut. Though their football federation was established in 1956, the Saudi Arabia national squad did not take part in the competition until they qualified for the AFC Asian Cup in 1984, which they won in the same year.

Saudi Arabia is Asia\'s most successful national teams

They afterwards became one of Asia\'s most successful national teams, reaching the next four successive Asian Cup finals and winning two of them in 1988 and 1996. They have qualified for every Asian Cup since, but their best presentation in that period was reaching the final in 2007. Saudi Arabia qualified for their first FIFA World Cup in 1994.

Under the management of Jorge Solari and with talents like Saeed Al-Owairan and Sami Al-Jaber, armoured by national expert Majed Abdullah as squad captain, Saudi Arabia beat both Belgium and Morocco in the group phase before falling to Sweden in the Round of 16. Saudi Arabia qualified for the next three Football World Cups but did not win a group stage game in any of them. They failed to qualify for the 2010 and 2014 competitions. 

Saudi Arabia secured qualification for the 2018 contest, ahead of Australia. However, they started on a tart note by letting host Russia surrender them 0–5 in the opening game, making this the second-largest conquest of any host nation at the FIFA World Cup. The record of the host\'s largest opening victory is still by Italy, beating the United States by 7–1, in 1934. Once again, Saudi Arabia failed to reach the next round, after misery another defeat, this time, losing 0–1 to Uruguay. 

After the 2018 FIFA World Cup

Saudi Arabia\'s routine in the contest was deemed to be their nastiest performance since the 2002 World Cup, where they were beaten 8-0 by Germany in their opening game and finished 32nd and bottom in the final positions. Although they were eliminated, they succeeded to recover some pride by winning their final group stage game and their first win at a FIFA World Cup since 1994 against Red Sea neighbours Egypt.

After the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Saudi Arabia participated in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup with very high confidence after an acceptable performance in the World Cup, with the Saudis winning its first Football World Cup game since the 1994 edition. However, Saudi Arabia finished second in the group stage, after falling to Qatar in the final game, and had to face another giant, Japan, in the round of sixteen. The Saudis conquered the whole game, but ultimately lost 0–1 due to poor finishing and crashed out of the competition.

On 15 October 2019, Saudi Arabia played its first-ever game with Palestine in the West Bank, the game marked an alteration in policy for Saudi Arabia, which has previously played games against the Palestinian side in third-party nations. The visit was destined by some Palestinian campaigners, who considered the game as a start of regularising the relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, but it was viewed by the Palestinian National Authority as a support for their dominion over the West Bank. The game finished in a scoreless draw.
