Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was pictured meeting with the kingdom’s national team ahead of their participation in the World Cup next month in Russia.
Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia's Sport Authority, tweeted the picture on Wednesday, along with the caption: “His Highness the Saudi Crown Prince receives players of the national team before their World Cup mission. God willing, they will fulfil our expectations.”
Saudi Arabia are appearing at their first World Cup finals since 2006, when they exited at the end of the group phase of the competition for the third tournament in a row.
