يدخل المنتخب السعودي الأول لكرة القدم مرحلة مفصلية في تاريخه الكروي، وهو يستعد لخوض الملحق الآسيوي المؤهل إلى نهائيات كأس العالم 2026 أمام منتخبي إندونيسيا والعراق. وفي الوقت الذي تتجه فيه الأنظار إلى قائمة اللاعبين التي أعلنها المدرب الفرنسي هيرفي رينارد، يتعاظم الدور الوطني الملقى على عاتق الإعلام والجماهير معًا، من أجل الوقوف خلف الأخضر في هذه اللحظة الحاسمة.
رينارد قدّم توليفة تجمع بين الخبرة والدماء الجديدة، مزج فيها بين لاعبين حملوا ألوان المنتخب في بطولات كبرى، وأسماء صاعدة تتلمس طريقها نحو العالمية. القائمة حملت رسائل واضحة: الطموح حاضر، والرهان على المستقبل لا يتعارض مع السعي إلى التأهل، بل يتكامل معه.
إن دعم المدرب في خياراته، والالتفاف حول نجوم المنتخب، يمثلان واجبًا وطنيًا، يتجاوز حدود النقد اللحظي والجدل الإعلامي. المطلوب اليوم أن يكون الإعلام الرياضي متزنًا ومسؤولًا، يساند الاختيارات ويمنح اللاعبين الثقة، بدلًا من الانشغال بتأويلات أو مقارنات قد تُربك المشهد في لحظة تحتاج إلى الهدوء والتركيز.
الأخضر لطالما كان عنوانًا لحضور المملكة في أكبر المحافل الكروية، ورمزًا لوحدة مشاعر السعوديين خلف راية واحدة. وما بين أقدام الشباب وخبرة القادة، تكتب حاليًا قصة جديدة، تحتاج من الجميع أن يكونوا شركاء في صناعتها، لا متفرجين على تفاصيلها.
إن رحلة المونديال لا تُقاس بعدد الأهداف فقط، بل بما تعكسه من روح وطنية جامعة. ولذا فإن دعم المنتخب اليوم هو دعم لصورة الوطن في الخارج، وإسناد لجهد سنوات من التخطيط الرياضي. رينارد وجهازه الفني أمام اختبار صعب، لكن النجاح ممكن إذا تكاملت المنظومة: لاعبون يقاتلون، مدرب يخطط، وإعلام وجماهير تمنح الثقة.
في الملحق، لا مكان للتشكيك ولا وقت للتشتيت، فالمعادلة بسيطة: الأخضر أولًا.. والتأهل هدف لا بد أن يتحقق.
لا مكان للتشكيك ولا وقت للتشتيت.. «الأخضر» بين حلم المونديال ورهان الملحق

The Saudi national football team is entering a pivotal stage in its football history as it prepares to compete in the Asian playoff for qualification to the 2026 World Cup against the teams of Indonesia and Iraq. While eyes are on the list of players announced by French coach Hervé Renard, the national role placed on the media and fans together becomes increasingly significant, in order to stand behind the Green in this critical moment.
Renard has presented a blend that combines experience and fresh talent, mixing players who have worn the national colors in major tournaments with rising names finding their way to the global stage. The list carried clear messages: ambition is present, and the bet on the future does not contradict the pursuit of qualification; rather, it complements it.
Supporting the coach in his choices and rallying around the stars of the national team represents a national duty that goes beyond the limits of momentary criticism and media debate. What is required today is for sports media to be balanced and responsible, supporting the selections and instilling confidence in the players, instead of getting caught up in interpretations or comparisons that could confuse the scene at a moment that needs calm and focus.
The Green has always been a symbol of the Kingdom's presence in the largest football arenas and a symbol of the unity of Saudi feelings behind one flag. Between the feet of the youth and the experience of the leaders, a new story is currently being written, one that requires everyone to be partners in its creation, not mere spectators of its details.
The journey to the World Cup is not measured solely by the number of goals, but by what it reflects of a unifying national spirit. Therefore, supporting the national team today is support for the image of the homeland abroad and a reinforcement of years of sports planning efforts. Renard and his coaching staff face a difficult test, but success is possible if the system is complete: players fighting, a coach planning, and media and fans providing confidence.
In the playoff, there is no room for doubt and no time for distraction, as the equation is simple: the Green first... and qualification is a goal that must be achieved.
