The Saudi Arabia team will play two friendly matches during its Czech camp. The first will be against Macedonia on September 4 at the Viktoria Žižkov Stadium in Prague, while the second will be against the Czech Republic on September 8 at the Malčovska Stadium in Hradec Králové.

The list announced by Renard (27) players included the following: Nawaf Al-Aqidi, Abdulrahman Al-Sanbi, Mohammed Al-Yami, Osama Al-Marmash, Mutab Al-Harbi, Jihad Dhakri, Mohammed Sulaiman, Saad Al-Musa, Hassan Al-Tambukti, Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti, Ali Majrashi, Nawaf Bushal, Nasser Al-Dosari, Saad Al-Nasser, Mukhtar Ali, Ziad Al-Jahni, Mohammed Kanno, Abdullah Al-Khaibari, Salem Al-Dosari, Abdulrahman Al-Aboud, Ayman Yahya, Abdullah Al-Hamdan, Musab Al-Juwair, Muhannad Al-Saad, Marwan Al-Sahafi, Saleh Al-Shehri, and Firas Al-Brikan.
