Saudi Arabia's football federation president, , has stepped down from his position after the national team's disappointing exit from the FIFA World Cup group stage.

Al-Misehal announced his resignation on Sunday, taking responsibility for the team's failure to progress beyond the group stage. Saudi Arabia's early elimination ended the country's hopes of advancing further in the tournament.

The decision came shortly after Saudi Arabia finished its World Cup campaign with results that were not enough to qualify for the knockout rounds. The team's performance fell below the expectations of many football fans.

During his time as football federation president, Al-Misehal oversaw several football development projects. However, the World Cup campaign became a major setback for the federation.

His resignation is expected to pave the way for new leadership as Saudi Arabian football looks to rebuild and prepare for future international competitions.

Football supporters will now be watching closely to see who will succeed Al-Misehal and what changes will be introduced to strengthen the national team ahead of upcoming tournaments.
