View Saudi Arabia v Palestine head to head
Kick-off: 8.30pm local
A qualifier hosted by Saudi Arabia was due to be played on 26 March 2020 but FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) decided that all the Asian FIFA World Cup 2022 and AFC Asian Cup 2023 qualifiers due to be played during this international break could be postponed. This was due to the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus).
The fixture was originally allocated as Saudi Arabia versus Yemen. However, Yemen withdrew citing travel problems due to the pandemic. Palestine agreed to take their place.
