The side gradually improved, hosting the2022 WAFF Beach Soccer Championship and finishing 5th after wins over Kuwait and Lebanon.[6] Saudi Arabia continued gaining experience through participation in several international events, including the Casablanca Cup (May 2022), Dubai Intercontinental Cup (November 2022), Acapulco Cup (April 2023),Nouakchott Championship (November 2023), and multiple editions of the NEOM Beach Soccer Cup.[7][8] In May 2023, they hosted and finished fourth in their first-everWorld Beach Games Qualifiers campaign.[9]
In 2024, the team expanded its regional presence, competing in the2023 COSAFA Beach Soccer Championship and the2024 Euro Beach Soccer League.[10][11] Their efforts culminated in a historic run at the2025 AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup, where they reached the quarter-finals and then the semi-finals for the first time in the nation's history.[12][13]
