🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia are a multiple Asian champion and regular World Cup side. An AFC side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 1680 — 39th of the 48 teams — in Group H.

Reached the Round of 16 in 1994 and famously beat Argentina in 2022. Technical and quick, favouring short passing and energetic pressing.

Drawn alongside Spain, Uruguay and Cape Verde, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with Spain. Our model projects them to finish 3rd in the group and to fall short of the knockout rounds.
