They are the only players from the First Division to feature on the Saudi national team\u2019s squad list, an achievement that reflects the development and standard of Al-Ula Club. The club\u2019s youth teams also made a notable impact with the inclusion of several players: Ahmed Ishaq and Fares Al-Shehri in defence, Muayad Youssef at right-back, Yasser Al-Harbi at left-back, and Tamim Al-Suhaimi in central defence, alongside Ammar Al-Qahtani and Rami Al-Nashiri in midfield, whilst the attack featured Noah Hosse and Saif Al-Subhi, in addition to goalkeepers Abdullah Abbas and Musaed Al-Shammari, all of whom were selected for the Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 national teams. This widespread representation of Al-Ela players across the various national teams underscores the success of the club\u2019s technical and administrative work, and its role in nurturing and developing national talent.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f3d8e3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3f3d8e3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al-Ula Club has seen 13 of its players called up to the Saudi national team across various age groups, led by first-team players Mohammed Al-Owais and Mohammed Al-Majhad, who have been selected for the senior squad in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.
