June 1, 2026, 11:07 a.m. ET

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.

The Saudis stunned eventual champion Argentina in their opener four years ago, though they still didn't advance past the group stage.

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.
