Wrth Weaves Saudi Identity into 2026 FIFA World Cup

The Royal Institute of Traditional Arts (Wrth) is creating a distinctive Saudi presence at the 2026 FIFA World Cup through artworks inspired by the Kingdom’s heritage, accompanying the journey of the Saudi national team.

Wrth unveiled a collection of commemorative exchange flags for the Saudi national team, drawing inspiration from the traditional Saudi art of Sadu weaving.

The designs reflect the cultural symbolism of the Bedouin tent and embody the values of generosity, hospitality, and authentic Saudi heritage.

The designs draw inspiration from lavender that blooms across the desert and celebrate the richness of the Kingdom’s natural environment.
