The Saudi Arabia U-23 national team will play their second match in the AFC U-23 Asian Cup 2026 tomorrow, Friday, which runs until January 24th.

The Green Falcons will host Jordan at 7:30 PM at Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium in Jeddah.

On the field, the Saudi players held their training session this evening at the King Abdullah Sports City training grounds, under the supervision of Italian coach Luigi Di Biagio and his assistant coaching staff. The session included fitness drills, followed by tactical exercises, and concluded with a full-field maneuver.

Meanwhile, coach Luigi Di Biagio has excluded Abdullah Radif from the squad due to a torn calf muscle in his right foot sustained during the national team's match against Kyrgyzstan in the previous round.

It is worth noting that the Saudi Arabia U-23 national team is in Group A of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup 2026, alongside Vietnam, Jordan, and Kyrgyzstan.
