Hervé Renard Confident in Saudi Arabia's Qualification for the World Cup
Hervé Renard, the head coach of the Saudi national team, confirmed that he is confident in the Green's qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
The Saudi team achieved a victory against Bahrain with a score of 2-0 this evening in the ninth and penultimate round of Group C in the third stage of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup.
Renard stated in the press conference after the match that the conditions need to be very good for the team to secure a qualification spot, noting that the task has become more difficult for direct qualification, but the players must try to qualify "even if through the window," as he put it.
The Green needs to win 5-0 against Australia next Tuesday to secure direct qualification.
With today's result, Saudi Arabia has at least secured a spot in the playoff.
Renard thanked the Saudi fans who attended today's match, expressing his understanding of the fans' disappointment following the result of the Japan vs. Australia match.
