Saudi U-23 football team begins training camp in Eastern Province

The Saudi under-23 national football team began its training program on Sunday as part of its preparatory camp in the Eastern Province during the November FIFA international break, in preparation for upcoming competitions.

The players trained under the supervision of Italian coach Luigi Di Biagio and his technical staff, with sessions focused on fitness, set-piece drills, and concluded with a scrimmage on half the pitch.

Five players—Saud Salem, Jawad Al Mansour, Adnan Al Bushri, Saad Al Mutairi, and Mishaal Al Dawood—are set to join the camp after completing their commitments with their clubs in the First Division and the Joui Elite U-21 League.

The technical staff decided to exclude Ziyad Al Ghamdi due to injury and called up Abdulrahman Al Sufyani as his replacement.

The Saudi U-23 team will continue its training on Monday evening as part of its ongoing preparations in the Eastern Province.
