CAIRO – 1 November 2018: Saudi Arabia will play two friendly games against Yemen and Jordan to prepare for their participation at 2019 Asian Cup in UAE.

The team known as Green Falcons will host Yemen on November 16 in Dammam before travelling to Amman to face Jordan four days later.

The team preparations for the competition continue in December when the team will start their closed camp to be ready for the tournament.
