Riyadh: Thanks to a string of excellent results, Saudi Arabia are continuing to climb their way up the FIFA World Ranking. Bert van Marwijk’s charges lie top of Group B in the third round of the Asian qualifying competition for the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 and have high hopes of qualifying for their fifth world finals, having missed South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014.
The Saudis’ fast start in the race for places at Russia 2018 has been a major factor in their recent world rankings rise. After going unbeaten in their second-round group, the Green Falcons were on course to finish 2016 undefeated, only for Japan to get the better of them in Saitama on Matchday 5 of the third round.
