Defender Saud Abdulhamid, who plays on loan for the French football team "Lens", will join the Saudi Arabian national team's training camp late.
İdman.Biz reports that the 26-year-old football player's passport was stolen in Amsterdam. Abdulhamid went to the capital of the Netherlands with his family for a wedding ceremony. At that time, his personal car was robbed, and along with his foreign passport, some valuables were also stolen.
For this reason, the defender was unable to join the Saudi Arabian national team's training camp before the World Cup on time. The Saudi Arabian Football Federation, together with the Ministry of Sports and the country's embassy in the Netherlands, has taken action to renew the documents in connection with the issue. The problem was solved in a short time. Abdulhamid announced on his social network account that his new passport was ready and that he was ready to join the national team for World Cup preparations.
The Saudi Arabian national team will compete with Spain, Uruguay, and Cabo Verde in Group H of the World Cup. As part of its preparation for the tournament, the team will hold a training camp in the USA.
