Saudi Greens Eye a Historic World Cup Knockout Run

Saudi Arabia’s former star Khaled Al-Shaif believes the Green Falcons can reach the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The team faces Spain, Uruguay, and Cape Verde in Group Eight, making progress a real milestone. He recalled the 1994 World Cup in the USA as a highlight and stressed that with solid planning and a quality squad, they can go far. If they advance to the Round of 32 and then the Round of 16, it would be a historic achievement for Saudi football. The Saudis start vs Uruguay on June 16, then Spain on June 21, and finish the group against Cape Verde on June 26.
