في ليلة تلوّن هواء عروس البحر جدة بأهازيج الفخر، وتمازجت الأنفاس بين القلق والحلم، خطّ المنتخب السعودي سطراً جديداً في كتاب المجد، بعدما حسم تأهله رسمياً إلى نهائيات كأس العالم للمرة السابعة في تاريخه، إثر تعادل بطعم الانتصار مع المنتخب العراقي دون أهداف، على أرض ملعب «الإنماء» بمدينة الملك عبدالله الرياضية.
الصافرة الأخيرة كانت شرارة فرح عمّت البلاد قاطبة.. فالنقطة التي انتزعها «الأخضر» كانت كفيلة بأن تفتح له أبواب المونديال، وتتوج رحلة شاقة في طريق وعرة خلال مشوار التصفيات الآسيوية.
في المدرجات، كان المشهد لوحة وطنية نادرة. الأعلام ترفرف، والهتافات تتعالى، والعيون تلمع بوميض الفخر. لم تهدأ الجماهير لحظة، وكأن كل هتاف يكتب رسالة دعم إلى اللاعبين داخل المستطيل الأخضر. ومن خلف الشاشات، كان ملايين السعوديين يعيشون اللحظة بالنبض ذاته، يصفقون، يهتفون، ويحتفلون بفرحة واحدة جمعت الوطن كله.
تأهلٌ سابعٌ يؤكد أن «الأخضر» ليس مجرد عملاق آسيوي فحسب، بل رمز للاستمرارية والتجدد. فمنذ أول ظهور في مونديال 1994 مروراً بمحطاته في 1998 و2002 و2006 و2018 و2022، وصولاً إلى هذا التأهل الجديد لمونديال 2026، يثبت المنتخب السعودي أن الطموح لا يتعب، وأن الراية الخضراء كُتِب لها أن ترفرف دائماً في سماء المونديال.
وهكذا، يواصل الأخضر كتابة التاريخ.. لا بالأهداف فقط، بل بروح وطنية تصنع الفخر، وبقلب لا يعرف إلا طريق المجد.
عملاق آسيا.. يعزف لحن المونديال السابع
الأخضر.. لا يخذل التاريخ

On a night when the air of the bride of the sea, Jeddah, was colored with chants of pride, and breaths mingled between anxiety and dreams, the Saudi national team wrote a new line in the book of glory, having officially secured their qualification for the World Cup finals for the seventh time in their history, following a draw that tasted like victory against the Iraqi national team with no goals, at the "Al-Inma" stadium in King Abdullah Sports City.
The final whistle was the spark of joy that spread across the entire country.. for the point that the "Green" snatched was enough to open the doors of the World Cup for them, crowning a challenging journey along a rough path during the Asian qualifiers.
In the stands, the scene was a rare national tableau. Flags were waving, chants were rising, and eyes sparkled with the glimmer of pride. The fans did not calm down for a moment, as if every cheer was writing a message of support to the players on the green rectangle. And behind the screens, millions of Saudis were living the moment with the same pulse, applauding, chanting, and celebrating a shared joy that united the whole nation.
The seventh qualification confirms that the "Green" is not just an Asian giant, but a symbol of continuity and renewal. Since their first appearance in the 1994 World Cup, through their stops in 1998, 2002, 2006, 2018, and 2022, leading up to this new qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the Saudi national team proves that ambition does not tire, and that the green flag is destined to always wave in the sky of the World Cup.
Thus, the Green continues to write history.. not just with goals, but with a national spirit that creates pride, and with a heart that knows only the path of glory.
