Musab Al-Juwayr

Called up for first World Cup

Al-Juwayr is set to be a starter for Saudi Arabia at the 2026 World Cup.

Analysis: Al-Juwayr is entering his first World Cup this summer as the young rising talent for Saudi Arabia, coming off a Player of the Season award in the Saudi Pro League. He will be used as their attacking option from the midfield in the final third, a player with decent playmaking ability, although they are yet to be tested at this level. He did record a very solid seven goals and 12 assists in league play this season, so it is clear he has a knack for goal contributions. However, he will need to prove himself, especially in a group that could turn out to be a very difficult selection of teams.
