Starts to end tournament
Bu Washl registered five clearances and one interception in Friday's 0-0 draw versus Cape Verde.
Analysis: Bu Washl would get the start and his only start of the 2026 World Cup on Friday, with the defender playing 82 minutes at left-back. His day wouldn't see too much action, earning an interception and five clearances to go along with a clean sheet. He only earned nine minutes from the bench this tournament before Friday's start.
Joins Saudi Arabia for World Cup
Bu Washl is expected to start at left-back for Saudi Arabia at the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Bu Washl is joining Saudi Arabia in America for the World Cup, not just set to be on the roster but likely to be a starter in the defense. He is a typical right-back but is more likely to be on the left, although he could see time on either side during the tournament. That said, he will also give the defense a solid two-way option, as he can move up the forward effectively, doing so with Al-Nassr in league play. However, in a group matched with Uruguay and Spain, he could see numerous goals against his side, hurting any value the defender had.
