French coach Hervé Renard is preparing to organize a training camp in the city of Dammam during November, which will include three preparatory friendly matches before the Arab Cup in Qatar. According to the Saudi sports newspaper, Al-Riyadh, Renard plans to play friendly matches against the national teams of Jordan, Mali, and Algeria, as part of his technical and tactical preparations to optimally prepare the players for the upcoming tournament. The camp is scheduled to run from November 10 to 18, as the coaching staff aims to take advantage of the international break to enhance the national team's physical and technical readiness before the official competitions. This step is part of Renard's vision to experiment with different formations and playing strategies, aiming to assess the levels of new players and maintain the balance of the team's collective performance. The Arab Cup will be held in the Qatari capital, Doha, from December 1 to 18, with the participation of a selection of Arab teams competing for the title. It is worth noting that the Saudi national team secured its qualification for the 2026 World Cup after overcoming Indonesia in the Asian playoff with a score of 3-2 and drawing with Iraq, reflecting the improvement in its level under Renard's leadership.
