This time Saudi Arabia will be there to make a new history in football. Saudi Arabia has been placed in Group ‘C’ along with Argentina, Poland and Mexico after winning 19 points from eight matches in the qualifying matches.
Japan defeated Australia by 2-0 to secure Saudi Arabia’s qualification ticket to Qatar. Qualifying for the World Cup for the sixth time, Saudi Arabia has always performed well in the field of Asian football.
The Arabian fans filling the stadiums in Qatar will be a huge support for the Saudis on the field. In 1994, the Arabian footballers were able to make it to the 16th place in the World Cup held in the US.
Saudi Arabia, which has won the Asian Cup three times, the Arab Cup twice and the Arabian Gulf Cup three times, may perform well in Qatar. Saudi Arabia’s unstoppable World Cup is accompanied by excitement, including Malayalis who have been working in Arab soil for a long time.
Saudi Arabia’s first match is against the mighty Argentina at the Lusail Stadium. If they can fight against Argentina, who have the best players and the most fans in the world of football, Saudi Arabia can increase their confidence and strength in the second match with Poland. Saudi’s third match is against Mexico.
