Fans of the Morocco national team pose for a photo with (left to right) their country's flag, the flag of the AS FAR football club, the national flag of Saudi Arabia after watching Morocco's Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup match against Croatia at a cafe in the capital Rabat on November 23, 2022. Saudi Arabia's unexpected World Cup victory over giants Argentina triggered a rare moment of joint celebration across the fractured Arab world including among Qataris -- less than two years after a seething regional dispute. The triumph was Saudi's biggest since its World Cup debut in 1994 and the first for a Middle Eastern country in this year's tournament, which is making its debut on Arab soil.

Saudi World Cup win sparks rare Arab unity

A caravan of Qatari cars, horns honking, paraded through the streets of Doha after the Saudis' famous 2-1 win over the South American champions, one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.
