Green Fever: Saudi Fans Spark the Arab Cup Buzz Before the Comoros Clash

Green Fever Ahead of the Comoros Clash
Saudi Arabia's supporters have stolen the spotlight at the Arab Cup 2025, hours before the eagerly awaited meeting with Comoros, set for Friday at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, in the second group-stage round.
About 24 hours before kick-off, TV cameras captured the Green Army gathering at the Wakif Market in Qatar, fueling the atmosphere with chants in support of the Green.
Wakif Market is no stranger to Saudi fans; it was the backdrop for some of the tournament's most famous World Cup 2022 chants, when fans cried "Messi, where is he? We broke his eye" after beating Argentina 2-1 in the group stage.
Saudi's side needs to beat Comoros by any score to officially secure progression to the quarterfinals.
The Green will play the match without their French coach Hervé Renard, who traveled with Yasser Al-Misal, the head of the Saudi Football Federation, to Washington for the 2026 World Cup draw.
Punchlines: If football is life, Saudi fans just upgraded their Wi‑Fi—now it’s all about the two-one chances. And if the Greens win, the victory parade might require kebabs as an official trophy accessory; if not, at least the Wakif Market will keep the chants flowing and the coffee strong.
