The Saudi Arabian national football team is considering playing two friendly matches in March against the Egyptian national football team and the Serbian national football team, following the cancellation of the football festival that was scheduled to be held in Qatar.

Informed sources revealed that the most likely option currently is to hold the two matches in Saudi Arabia, specifically in the city of Jeddah, instead of organizing them as part of the friendly tournament that was to be held in Qatar.

The Saudi Green team was preparing to participate in the Qatar Football Festival in March, where they were scheduled to face the national teams of Egypt and Serbia in two friendly matches as part of their preparation program.

These matches are part of the early preparations for the Saudi national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup, as the coaching staff aims to prepare the players through strong matches.

According to circulated information, officials from the Saudi Arabian Football Federation continue to communicate with the Egyptian and Serbian federations to agree on the final details for holding the two matches in Jeddah.

The Saudi national team successfully secured its spot in the 2026 World Cup, marking its seventh participation in the tournament's history, continuing its presence in the largest international competitions.
