President of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation Yasser Al-Misehal voted for the resignation after the national team failed to make it to the playoffs of the World Cup 2026.

The functionary stated that he is especially responsible for the failure to comply with the assigned tasks and respects that the federation may launch a new stage of development with a new structure.

“The fact that the national team could not advance to the next round of the World Championship is a result that does not correspond to our ambitions. I take full responsibility for this and ask for the blessing of everyone who is willing to help our team in the shortest possible time.

Coming from this research, which shows the possibility of starting a new stage, I am determined not to be deprived of the work until the end of the production process,” said Yasser Al-Misehal.

Al-Misehal praised the Saudi Arabian Football Federation for nearly seven years. In just one hour, she became one of the key figures in the process of snatching the right to host the World Championship in 2034..
