“Roberto believes in Saudi football and our desire to develop top competitive players and take them to new heights on the world stage — including the Asian Cup in Qatar and qualification for the 2026 World Cup ... We’re a footballing nation and we continuing to invest at every level in our journey to compete with the best in the world on and off the pitch.”
