This time Saudi Arabia will be there to make a new history in football. Saudi Arabia were inducted into Group “C” alongside Argentina, Poland and Mexico after winning 19 points in eight matches in qualifying matches.
Japan defeated Australia 2-0 to secure Saudi Arabia’s qualifying ticket for Qatar. By qualifying for the sixth time for the World Cup, Saudi Arabia has always performed well in the field of Asian football.
The Arab fans who fill Qatar’s stadiums will be a huge support for the Saudis on the pitch. In 1994, Arab footballers managed to reach 16th place in the World Cup held in the United States.
Saudi Arabia, which has won the Asian Cup three times, the Arabian Cup twice and the Arabian Gulf Cup three times, could perform well in Qatar. Saudi Arabia’s unstoppable World Cup is accompanied by enthusiasm, including Malaysians who have long worked on Arab land.
Saudi Arabia’s first match is against mighty Argentina at Lusail Stadium. If they can fight Argentina, which has the best players and the largest number of fans in the world of football, Saudi Arabia can increase their confidence and strength in the second match against Poland. Saudi Arabia’s third match is against Mexico.
