The Brief

  • Al-Juwayr was excluded from the Gulf 27 squad due to disciplinary issues.
  • Officials confirmed no further sanctions will be imposed on the player.
  • Al-Juwayr apologized and expressed respect for the disciplinary decision.

Musab Al-Juwayr, a midfielder for Al-Qadisiyah and the Saudi national team, will attend the senior team's upcoming preparatory camp in Doha, according to confirmed sources.

Al-Juwayr was excluded from the Gulf 27 squad in September due to disciplinary violations and failure to follow internal regulations, as explained by Fahad Al-Mufarrij, the executive director of the Saudi national team.

Al-Mufarrij stated that Al-Juwayr received a verbal warning before repeating the offense, which led to his exclusion. The exact nature of the violation was not disclosed.

Al-Juwayr took responsibility for his actions and apologized to various officials, including the Minister of Sport and the president of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.

With no additional sanctions pending, Al-Juwayr is now seeking to regain his place in the national team squad, which depends on the official selection for the upcoming camp.

The technical staff views Al-Juwayr as a key player due to his technical skills and ability to create play, though his inclusion remains conditional on the final squad announcement.
