The Saudi national football team will leave Austin, its US base, for Atlanta, Georgia, on Friday after a closed training session at Q2 Stadium, as it continues preparations to face Spain on Sunday in its second Group H match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Saudi Arabia drew this week 1-1 with Uruguay in their opening game. "A very good team defensively that will try to take advantage of their counter-attacking options," Spain defender Marc Cucurella said of Saudi Arabia, who at the 2022 World Cup pulled off a stunning 2-1 victory over eventual champions Argentina.
