Renard Finalizes Saudi Arabia Lineup for Match Against Comoros in Arab Cup
Hervé Renard, the coach of the Saudi national team, finalized his lineup for the Falcons ahead of their match against the Comoros Islands this evening in the second round of Group B matches at the Arab Cup in Qatar.
The French coach plans to field his top attacking players, led by Salem Al-Dawsari, Saleh Abu Al-Shamat, Firas Al-Buraikan, and Saleh Al-Shehri, with the aim of securing the victory and ensuring early qualification to the quarterfinals of the competition.
The expected lineup for the Saudi national team is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Nawaf Al-Aqidi
Defense line: Nawaf Boushel, Walid Al-Ahmad, Hassan Timbuktu, Ayman Yahya
Midfield: Abdullah Al-Khaibari, Nasser Al-Dosari, Saleh Abu Al-Shamat
Offensive line: Salem Al-Dawsari, Saleh Al-Shehri, Firas Al-Buraikan
The Saudi national team opened their matches in the tournament with a valuable victory over the Oman national team, winning two goals to one, which gave them an early advantage in the race to advance from the group.
Al-Akhdar is in Group B alongside Oman, Comoros, and Morocco, where there is intense competition for the two qualifying spots.
Frenchman François Rodriguez is scheduled to take charge of the Saudi team in today's match, due to Renard's absence as he is attending the 2026 World Cup draw being held in the United States.
The Moroccan national team will also face their Omani counterparts this evening as part of the same group matches, in an anticipated encounter that could impact the qualification calculations.
