Saudi Arabia came up with a unique and innovative way of announcing their World Cup squad through a video. The video shows people conveying about the selection of their favourite. In one of the instances, a man gets a call and receives a message about his favourite player getting roped in the squad while in the other a student throws a piece of paper to his friend which has the name of a player.
Saudi Arabia are making their first appearance in a World Cup since 2006, and they are placed in Group A alongside Uruguay, Egypt and hosts Russia. Saudi Arabia lost 0-3 to Peru in their recent friendly match.
