Saudi flag gesture at World Cup
During the Saudi Arabia and Uruguay match at the 2026 World Cup in Florida, a rare protocol gesture took place: the Saudi flag was not lowered to the ground out of respect for its religious symbolism, at the request of the Saudi Football Federation and organized by FIFA.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Saudi Arabia preparing to face Spain in the second round.
