Saudi Football Chief Resigns After World Cup Exit

The head of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation tendered his resignation following the team's disappointing performance at the 2026 World Cup.

Saudi Arabia, three-time Asian champions, finished at the bottom of Group H with only two points, failing to secure a single win.

The team drew against Uruguay and Cape Verde before suffering a demoralizing 4-0 loss to Spain, which ended their tournament hopes.

The resignation comes amid a wave of accountability for high-profile failures at the ongoing World Cup in North America.
