  "account": "The Saudi under-23 national football team initiated its training regimen on Sunday in the Eastern Province, coinciding with the November FIFA international break. The team's preparatory camp commenced in the Eastern Province during the FIFA international break, as part of their preparations for forthcoming tournaments. Under the guidance of Italian coach Luigi Di Biagio and his technical team, the players engaged in training sessions that emphasized physical conditioning, set-piece techniques, and concluded with a half-pitch scrimmage. Five players—Saud Salem, Jawad Al Mansour, Adnan Al Bushri, Saad Al Mutairi, and Mishaal Al Dawood—will join the camp after fulfilling their obligations with their respective First Division and Joui Elite U-21 League clubs. The technical staff opted to exclude Ziyad Al Ghamdi due to a medical issue and promptly incorporated Abdulrahman Al Sufyani into the lineup as a substitute. The Saudi U-23 team is set to continue its training sessions on Monday evening as part of their ongoing preparations in the Eastern Province.",
