Why Saudi chose to face Puerto Rico
The Saudi Football Federation has chosen to face the Puerto Rico national team in a friendly match before the start of the 2026 World Cup, despite the global rankings placing Puerto Rico at 156th, 95 places below the Saudi team. Greek coach Georgios Donis explained that the goal of the match is to test the Saudi team’s attacking performance and assess their ability to control the ball against a team with high physical strength. This is part of the Green Falcons' preparations for the World Cup. The match will be held in the United States after Saudi Arabia's loss to Ecuador and their victory over Senegal in the warm-up matches.
