Saudi Arabia's most proven attacker brings World Cup scoring history, one-v-one confidence, and a direct route to upset chances.

Al-Buraikan gives the front line a central target, linking counter-attacks and turning wide deliveries into set-piece pressure.

The RC Lens full-back stretches the right side and gives Saudi Arabia recovery speed when matches become transition-heavy.

Tambakti anchors the defensive line and gives the side a clearer aerial and duel profile against stronger Group H attacks.

Kanno adds size, ball-carrying, and late-box runs that can keep Saudi Arabia from becoming too passive without the ball.

Al-Owais gives the squad a goalkeeper with major tournament experience and the shot-stopping profile needed for long defensive stretches.
