Al Juwair

Strong at late runs, link-up play, and second-phase attacks, he brings an energetic presence that reflects the next generation of Saudi football and the forward-looking spirit of their 2027 home campaign.

Al Birekan

He can play as a target man and is a reliable finisher inside the box. His off-ball movement and ability to occupy defenders are among his biggest strengths.

Al Amri

Strong in direct duels and close marking, he is a natural fit for showcasing the team’s defensive structure from centre-back. Against strong knockout-stage opponents, his resilience and strength make him a strong representation of Saudi Arabia’s defensive toughness.

Abdulhamid

He is strong in both attack and defence, with the pace to drive forward from wide areas and quickly turn defensive transitions into dangerous attacks. His ability to carry the ball up the flank can make a real difference in high-intensity games against strong opponents.

Al Dawsari

His one-on-one ability and finishing when cutting inside are major strengths. He has the quality to step up in big games and make the difference when it matters most, making his performance a key factor in Saudi Arabia’s success.

Stars Upgrade

Upgrade your featured Saudi Arabian players to 119 OVR versions using their original cards and Star Shards.

The Road to AFC Asian Cup: Saudi Arabia event gives you a simple path to collect and upgrade five Saudi Arabian players. Play the daily challenges to build up Saudi Arabia Team Points, unlock the featured players, then use Star Shards to upgrade them to 119 OVR.

Keep playing while the event is active to collect the available rewards and build your squad around Saudi Arabia’s Asian Cup journey. You can also participate in the Extra Time: AFC Asian Cup 2027 (Saudi Arabia) Trivia to earn more rewards.

If the rewards are too low OVR to fit into your squad, you can still exchange the original 116-118 OVR players for Star Shards. This helps you collect enough Star Shards to claim higher OVR players from Star Signings.
