The Saudi Arabian team is holding the last chance match at the World Cup
The coach of the Saudi Arabian team, the Greek Giorgos Donis, decided to take a step back during the decisive confrontation against Cape Verde at the 2026 World Cup.
The Saudi Arabian national team will face Cape Verde in the third and final round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup at the Houston Stadium next Saturday at dawn.
According to the “Dorena Gear” program of the “Saudi Arabia” channel, Donis decided to return to the Uruguay match in the first round of the group stage, which ended with a positive score of 1-1.
The Greek coach faced the Latins with his usual 4-3-3 method, before he changed the method to 5-3-2 against Spain to ensure the defense in the second round, but lost cleanly.
The program explained that Donis was choosing between Firas Al-Brykan, who started the Uruguay and Spain matches, and Abdullah Al-Hamdan, who came on as a substitute in both matches, to decide who would lead the attack against Cape Verde.
Saudi Arabia go into the match with one chance to win to qualify for the World Cup Round of 32, where they sit fourth in Group H, one point behind Cape Verde and Uruguay.
