The historic loss of the Saudi national team to Indonesia (2-0) continues yesterday, Tuesday, in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Al-Akhdar suffered the first defeat in its history against Indonesia, in a new episode of poor results for the team, despite the appointment of a new technical staff led by the French Hervé Renard, continuing forward by Italian Roberto Mancini.
One of the fans of the program “Action with Walid” criticized the sports critic Abdullah Fallata: “Unfortunately, Fallata, you are contradicting yourself At the same time you say that it is necessary on 8 foreigners for the clubs.
Flatah said: “I’m not a decision maker. The decision is in place.
He said: “We heard a lot that 13 players have been nominated to play professionally abroad. Why did only two players go professionally? Did the clubs stop or did the project stop? We are talking about the interest of a member -national football.”
Saudi Arabia’s calculation to qualify for the 2026 World Cup is complicated, as Japan leads the third group with 16 points, while there is strong competition for the second place, which is occupied by a team Australia with 7 points.
All the teams in the remaining group, “Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and China,” are equal on 6 points, noting that the first and second teams qualify directly for the World Cup, while the third and fourth teams compete in other qualifications. .

What factors contributed to the historic defeat of the Saudi national football team to Indonesia in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup?
Editors Note: The following is an interview with two guests discussing the historic defeat of the Saudi national football team to Indonesia in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The conversation also touches on the use of foreign players in the Saudi league, the team’s performance, and their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.
Guest 1: Ahmed Al-Jabery, a Saudi football fan and commentator.
Guest 2: Walid Al-Oshayyifan, a Qatari sports analyst and columnist.
Topic: Historic Defeat of the Saudi National Team
Interviewer: Let’s begin with the historic loss of the Saudi national team to Indonesia. How did you react to this surprising result?
Guest 1: I was shocked, to be honest. It’s the first time in history that the Saudi team has lost to Indonesia, and the manner in which they lost was disappointing. We were expecting better performance from the team, especially after the recent appointment of Hervé Renard as the new coach.
Guest 2: I wasn’t as surprised as you might think. Indonesia has been playing well lately, and their home ground advantage could’ve played a role in this match. However, the loss does show that there are still issues with the Saudi team, particularly in terms of their defensive lineup.
Topic: Use of Foreign Players in Saudi Arabia
Interviewer: During the interview, Abdullah Fallata criticized the sports critic Abdullah Flatah for contradicting himself on the topic of using foreign players in the Saudi league. Can you both elaborate on this discussion and share your views?
Guest 1: Saudi Arabia has always relied heavily on foreigners in football, but I believe we have enough local talent to compete at the international level. The problem lies in developing our youth system and giving younger players more opportunities to play.
Guest 2: I agree with Ahmed, and I also think that the Roshen League has been a great initiative for Saudi Arabia to improve its football infrastructure. However, it has had unintended consequences like clubs focusing more on bringing in expensive foreign players instead of investing in local talent.
