2026 Saudi Arabia World Cup roster: Complete 26-man team
Saudi Arabia scored one of the World Cup's all-time biggest upsets in 2022, and will attempt to go one step further this time around.

Led by Greek manager Georgios Donis, Saudi Arabia has named a squad entirely based in its domestic league, save for Lens defender Saud Abdulhamid.
Here are the 26 payers Saudi Arabia will bring to the 2026 World Cup.
