Saudi Football Federation President Resigns After World Cup Group Stage Exit
Yasser Al-Misehal resigned as president of Saudi Arabia's Football Federation following the national team's early exit from the World Cup, where they finished last in Group H with two draws and one loss. Al-Misehal, who led the federation for seven years and was instrumental in securing the 2034 World Cup hosting rights, took responsibility for the results and apologized. The team’s preparations included a late coaching change, and the country has invested heavily in football, attracting top international players to its league.
