The Saudi Arabia national football team is preparing for the FIFA World Cup 2026 after its success in the 2022 tournament, where it defeated Argentina in one of the biggest upsets of the competition. Saeed Joda, a sports journalist, believes that the team always has the ability to create moments, but faces a bigger challenge in maintaining technical stability. With the approach of the 2026 World Cup, expectations are higher than ever, as the tournament will feature 48 teams and 104 matches, meaning longer competition and greater pressure. The Saudi fans in Australia are also preparing for the tournament with great enthusiasm, where Masoud Al-Sultan, the president of the Saudi club in Perth, believes that the team represents more than just a football team for the fans. Football in Saudi Arabia is not just a game, but a collective memory that people live from generation to generation, where children used to imitate Saeed Al-Owairan's famous goal before they knew how to explain it. In the summer of 1994, the Saudi national team arrived in the United States to participate in the World Cup for the first time in its history, where the moment that changed everything came, Saeed Al-Owairan's historic start against Belgium, and the goal that remained engraved in the memory of the World Cup itself. Since that moment, Saudi Arabia has known the way to the World Cup, where it repeated its presence in France 1998, Korea and Japan 2002, Germany 2006, Russia 2018, and then Qatar 2022. Some participations carried pride, and others carried disappointment, but the Saudi national team always returned again. In Qatar 2022, the team returned to create one of the biggest upsets of the tournament when it defeated Argentina, the team that later won the title under the leadership of Lionel Messi. That victory was not just three points, but a moment that redefined the image of the Saudi national team in the world. Today, Saudi Arabia does not look at the World Cup as just a tournament it participates in, but as part of a larger project related to sports, tourism, and the global image of the kingdom. Despite all the projects, investments, and global stars, the most important thing remains as it always has been: that passion that starts from the councils... from the sound of coffee... and from a dream that recurs every four years.
