What did the Saudi Arabia national team do in National Day friendlies?

The Saudi national team recalled memories of their matches coinciding with National Day, having played 3 encounters during this occasion, with results varying between victory, draw, and defeat.

In 1993, Saudi Arabia faced Costa Rica in a friendly match, which ended in a 2-1 defeat for the Green. This remains Saudi Arabia's only loss in this context.

The second anniversary came in 2000, when the Saudi national team faced their Syrian counterparts in a friendly match coinciding with National Day, and the Green managed to secure the victory with a score of 2-1.

Saudi Arabia's last appearance on National Day was in 2022 against Ecuador in a friendly match that ended in a goalless draw, keeping the Green's record balanced.

In their three matches, Saudi Arabia achieved one win, one draw, and one loss, scoring 3 goals while conceding 3 times, resulting in an equal tally between goals scored and conceded.

The Green start their journey in the Gulf Cup 27 against Kuwait on Wednesday evening, in the first round of the group stage, looking for a strong start in the tournament held in Jeddah.

The first group includes Saudi Arabia and Kuwait along with Iraq and Oman, competing in a tournament featuring four teams with a notable history in the Gulf Cup.
