The Saudi Arabia national football team represents Saudi Arabia in men's international football games. They are often called Al-Suqour Al-Arabiyyah (Arabian Falcons) or Al-Suqour Al-Khodhur (The Green Falcons). These names refer to their traditional green and white team colors. The team is part of FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
Saudi Arabia is one of Asia's most successful national football teams. They have won the AFC Asian Cup three times (in 1984, 1988, and 1996). They have also reached the Asian Cup finals a record six times. The team has played in the FIFA World Cup seven times. Their first World Cup appearance was in 1994. Saudi Arabia was the first Asian team to reach the final of a major FIFA competition. This happened at the 1992 King Fahd Cup, which later became the FIFA Confederations Cup. Only Australia and Japan have done this since.
At the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Saudi Arabia surprised many. They beat Belgium and Morocco in the group stage. They then lost to Sweden in the Round of 16. This made them only the second Arab team to reach the knockout stage of a World Cup. Other Asian teams like Australia, Japan, and South Korea have also achieved this. In the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Saudi Arabia famously beat Argentina 2–1. Argentina later went on to win the tournament. However, Saudi Arabia lost their next games and finished last in their group.
Saudi Arabia is set to host the 2027 AFC Asian Cup. This will be the first time the country hosts this important tournament. They are also scheduled to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

Team History
Early Days (1951–1955)
The idea for a Saudi national team began in 1951. A team of Saudi players played friendly matches against an Egyptian team. These games took place in Jeddah. In 1953, the first Saudi team traveled abroad for friendly matches. They visited Damascus as part of a royal visit.
In 1957, the Saudi national team played in their first international tournament. This was at the 2nd Pan-Arab Games in Beirut. The opening ceremony was a big event, attended by King Saud.
Rise and Challenges (1956–2016)
Saudi Arabia's football federation started in 1956. However, the national team didn't play in a major tournament until 1984. That year, they qualified for the AFC Asian Cup and won it on their first try. After this, they reached the next four Asian Cup finals in a row. They won two more titles in 1988 and 1996. They have qualified for every Asian Cup since then. In 2007, they reached the final again.
Saudi Arabia played in their first FIFA World Cup in 1994. They had a strong team with players like Saeed Al-Owairan and Sami Al-Jaber. They won against Belgium and Morocco in the group stage. They then lost to Sweden in the Round of 16. Saudi Arabia qualified for the next three World Cups. However, they did not win any matches in those tournaments. In 2002, they finished last without scoring any goals.
After 2007, the team faced some tough times. They did not qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. In the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, they lost all three of their games. They also failed to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, they were eliminated in the group stage again.
Recent Success (2017–Present)
Saudi Arabia qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, ending a 12-year wait. In their first game, they lost to host nation Russia 5–0. They also lost to Uruguay. However, they won their final group match against Egypt 2–1.
After the 2018 World Cup, Saudi Arabia played in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. They finished second in their group. They then lost 1–0 to Japan in the Round of 16.
In October 2019, Saudi Arabia played Palestine in the West Bank. This was a new step for Saudi Arabia, as they usually played such matches in other countries. The game ended in a 0–0 draw.
Saudi Arabia qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. This was the first World Cup held in the Middle East. They were in a group with Argentina, Poland, and Mexico. In their first game, they caused a huge upset by beating Argentina 2–1. This ended Argentina's 36-game unbeaten streak. The Saudi King even declared a holiday to celebrate the win. However, they then lost to Poland and Mexico, finishing last in their group.
Under their new coach, Roberto Mancini, Saudi Arabia played in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. They won their first two group games against Oman and Kyrgyzstan. They drew with Thailand to win their group. In the Round of 16, they faced South Korea. The game ended in a 1–1 draw after extra time. Saudi Arabia lost 4–2 in a penalty shootout and were eliminated.
Saudi Arabia also played in their first CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament in 2025. They reached the quarter-finals but lost 2–0 to Mexico.
Team Uniforms
Saudi Arabia's home uniform is usually white with green details. Their away uniform is green with white details. These colors are from the Saudi flag. In 2023, the team switched their main colors. Green became the home color, and white became the away color.
Team Rivalries
Saudi Arabia has strong rivalries with other football teams. Most of these rivals are from the Gulf region. Key rivals include Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.
Matches against Iran are especially important due to historical reasons. There is a strong rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saudi Arabia has won 4 matches, drawn 6, and lost 5 against Iran.
The rivalry with Iraq started in the 1970s. After the Gulf War, where Iraq invaded Kuwait, the rivalry grew stronger. These matches are often seen as battles for Arab pride.
Outside the Middle East, Saudi Arabia also has rivalries with South Korea, Japan, and Australia.
Home Stadiums
Saudi Arabia has played most of its home matches at King Fahd Sports City in Riyadh. This stadium also hosted the first three King Fahd Cups. These were early versions of the FIFA Confederations Cup. Many World Cup qualifying matches have also been played there.
Since the 2000s, Saudi Arabia has started using other stadiums. They have played games in Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam. They also used Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium for some matches.
