Nawaf Al-Aqidi's Position on Participating in the Friendly Against Ecuador

The coaching staff of the Saudi national team, led by Greek coach Georgios Donis, has decided on goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi's participation in the friendly match against Ecuador.

This decision comes as part of the final preparations for the Green Falcons to compete in the 2026 World Cup, within the training camp held in the United States of America.

Alaqidi underwent special rehabilitation training during the national team's last session, as he is not yet fully physically ready following a recent injury.

The medical team is working in coordination with the technical staff to gradually prepare the player, with the aim of bringing him back to the highest level of readiness before the tournament begins.

The Saudi national team continues its preparation program in America, taking advantage of the current camp to prepare all technical and physical elements before the World Cup.

The Green team's roster included a selection of prominent names across various positions, as Donis relied on a blend of experience and young talent.

The Saudi sports community is eagerly awaiting the final readiness of Al-Aqeedi and his potential participation in the upcoming matches as part of the preparation plan for the World Cup.
