In the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the draw placed the Saudi national team alongside Argentina, which began its campaign with a historic loss to Al-Akhdar before bouncing back strongly and succeeding in winning the world title. In the 2026 World Cup, the scenario repeated itself, as Spain was placed in Saudi Arabia's group and continued its steady march until it was crowned world champion for the second time in its history. Thus, the Saudi national team has been present in the group of the world champion for two consecutive editions, a notable World Cup coincidence that confirms that the path to glory in the last two editions passed through the group in which Al-Akhdar was present.
