On August 2, 1951, His Royal Highness Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal organised a third friendly with the Egyptian team against a Saudi National XI with players from Al-Wahda from Mekkah, and Al-Ahly Jeddah. By then the idea of a national select team to represent the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was already in full flow, and in 1953 the first ever Saudi team travelled to play friendly matches abroad.
The same year, a Saudi team travelled to Damacus to play friendly matches as part of Crown Prince Saud bin Abdul-Aziz’s visit to the country in April 1953.
The squad consisted of goalkeeper Abdul-Rahman Falmaban, Hamza Haji, Mohammed Al-Zaghibi, Hussein Daher, Jawad Olmadar, Farid Sandi, Youssef Obad, Mohammed Trabalsi, Abdullah Akhar, Aydan Bin Rashid, Nassir Bin Fahad, Saad Makimar, Ahmed Badir, Saad Mohammed, Salman Hassan and caprain Hamza Hashim.
The team held a weeks camp in the city of Dhahran before flying off to Syria to play a match on April 5, 1953 against Al-Shurta ("Police"), one of Syria’s top club sides at the time. The game was played at the Municipal Stadium which at the time had no grass pitch!. The referee was Adham Mashnouk of Syria.
As the Saudi team did not have a coach, the responsability was taken on by the team captain Hamza Hashim.
In 1957, the Saudi national team took part in their first international tournament at the 2nd Pan-Arab Games in Beirut, where King Saud was invited to attend the opening ceremony and the inauguration of the Camille Chamoun Stadium with Lebanese President Camille Chamoun on October 18, 1957. The first game played at the stadium was between the national teams of Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. Abdul-Majid Kiyal scored for the Saudis while Levon Altonian netted for the home side. The Saudi players came from teams from Jeddah and Mekkah, while the team was give support and encouragment from Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal for their trip to Beirut.
The team's coach was former Egyptian player Abdul-Rahman Fawzi, who was the first player from Africa and the Arab World to score a goal at a World Cup finals, with his double against Hungary at the 1934 World Cup in Italy. His assistant was former team-mate, ex-Egyptian international Labib Mahmoud.
