World Cup 2018: Four Arab teams for the first time in the World Cup (congratulations)

The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, with the participation of four Arab teams, is the first time in the history of the finals, after Morocco and Tunisia secured their qualification on Saturday, joining Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

The largest number of Arab teams in a single edition of the World Cup was three, scoring twice: the 1986 World Cup in Mexico (Morocco, Algeria and Iraq) and the 1998 World Cup in France (Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia).
Arab participation in the World Cup was often divided between one team (Egypt in 1934, Morocco 1970, Tunisia 1978, Algeria in 2010 and 2014). Two teams participated in the 1982 World Cup (Kuwait and Algeria), 1990 (Egypt and the UAE) and 1994 Morocco and Saudi Arabia), 2002 (Saudi Arabia and Tunisia) and 2006 (Saudi Arabia and Tunisia).
The following are the most important stations of Arab teams to the World Cup 2018:

Saudi Arabia had 19 points, second behind Japan in the second Asian group, which also included Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and Thailand. Saudi Arabia managed to win six wins from 10 games, against a draw and three losses.
