Saudi-Arabi\u00eb staat voor de eerste wedstrijd onder leiding van de nieuwe hoofdcoach Jos\u00e9 Daniel Donis, wanneer zij het in een vriendschappelijke wedstrijd in de Verenigde Staten opnemen tegen Venezuela.<\/p>\n

De wedstrijd staat gepland voor vrijdag 27 maart 2026 in het Inter Miami-stadion in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dit zal Donis\u2019 eerste offici\u00eble wedstrijd zijn als hoofdcoach van de Green Falcons sinds zijn aanstelling.<\/p>\n

Donis, die eerder dit jaar de leiding over het Saoedische nationale team overnam, heeft de selectie voorbereid op deze wedstrijd tijdens een trainingskamp in de VS. Het kamp begon op 22 maart en omvat een tweede vriendschappelijke wedstrijd tegen Bolivia op 30 maart.<\/p>\n

De Saoedische voetbalbond heeft bevestigd dat de wedstrijd tegen Venezuela om 20:00 uur lokale tijd (03:00 uur Saoedische tijd op 28 maart) van start gaat. De wedstrijd maakt deel uit van de voorbereidingen van het team op de kwalificatiewedstrijden voor het WK 2026.<\/p>\n

Donis heeft een 26-koppige selectie opgeroepen voor de twee vriendschappelijke wedstrijden, bestaande uit een mix van ervaren spelers en nieuwe gezichten. Belangrijke namen zijn Salem Al-Dawsari, Firas Al-Buraikan en doelman Mohammed Al-Owais.<\/p>\n

Het Venezolaanse nationale team, dat op de 54e plaats van de wereldranglijst staat, zal een zware test vormen voor de Saoedi\u00ebrs, die op de 56e plaats staan. Venezuela gebruikt deze wedstrijd eveneens als voorbereiding op hun eigen WK-kwalificatiecampagne.<\/p>\n

Donis zei tijdens een persconferentie voorafgaand aan de wedstrijd: \u201cWe werken hard om onze idee\u00ebn te implementeren. De spelers hebben grote toewijding getoond. Deze wedstrijd is een belangrijke stap in onze reis.\u201d<\/p>\n

De wedstrijd wordt live uitgezonden op SSC-kanalen in Saoedi-Arabi\u00eb en op het offici\u00eble YouTube-kanaal van de bond voor internationale kijkers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
