Saud Abdulhamid, Saudi Arabia, Georgios Donis
1 June 2026
Saud Abdulhamid was named as the only overseas-based player in Saudi Arabia’s World Cup squad for this summer’s tournament. The Roma defender spent last season on loan at Lens, while Salem Al Dawsari will captain the group.
Georgios Donis selected the rest of his squad from Saudi Pro League clubs, leaning heavily on Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Qadsiah players. Saudi Arabia open against Uruguay before facing Spain and Cape Verde.
