Today, November 23, is a public holiday in Saudi Arabia to celebrate their football team’s incredible World Cup victory over Argentina.

Saudi Arabia beat title favourites Argentina 2-1 at the Lusail Stadium in Doha yesterday in one of the greatest World Cup upsets in history.
The Gulf state are the second-lowest ranked country at Qatar World Cup behind hosts Qatar and came into the tournament with low expectations in a group with Argentina, who were tipped by many to challenge for ultimate glory.

But in a truly stunning turn of events, the underdogs sent the team ranked number three in the world crashing to the bottom of Group C with a stellar 2-1 victory.

And now, Saudi Arabians can continue their celebrations today as King Salman approved plans to give all employees and students a national holiday, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Saudi Arabia’s previous biggest win was 1-0 over Belgium at the 1994 World Cup, secured by a storied individual goal by Saeed Al-Owairan.

With games to come against Poland and Mexico, Saudi Arabia now have a chance to reach the knockout phase of the tournament for only the second time in six attempts, having reached the Last 16 on their debut in 1994.
