The Saudi Arabian team has faced unsettled problems before the start of preparations for the 2026 World Cup. The team's captain, Saud Abdulhamid, was unable to arrive immediately before the collection was released due to the loss of documents after the robbery.

As the Saudi Arabian Football Federation reported, the incident took place in Amsterdam, where the footballer was at the same time from his homeland. Unseen people broke into the driver's car and stole his personal speech, including his passport..

The federation is working with the Ministry of Sports and the Saudi Arabian Embassy in the Netherlands to issue new documents for the football player as soon as possible.

The federation also received Abdulhamidov’s encouragement and sang that they would expect his safe arrival to the camp of the national team.

At the 2026 emergency, Saudi Arabia has chosen to join the group together with Spain, Cape Verde and Uruguay.
