Starting forward for Saudi Arabia

Al Buraikan is set to start at forward for Saudi Arabia at the 2026 World Cup.

Analysis: Al Buraikan is heading back to another World Cup after he joined the Saudi side in Qatar in 2022, helping provide a crucial assist in their upset against Argentina. That said, he will look to play a major role again for the team as he starts at forward, hoping to earn his first World Cup goal. He netted eight goals and an assist in 51 appearances this season with Al-Ahli, proving his worth to make the squad and also start. He will be their best chance at scoring a goal during the tournament, giving him a little added value.
