Two-time champions Uruguay will host a small portion of the 24th World Cup in four years' time. For now, La Celeste are travelling north to make their mark on this summer's competition.
These sides have faced each other three times previously, all since the start of the century. One match ended in a win for Uruguay, one in a victory for Saudi Arabia, and one in a draw.
Despite the balance in past results, it will be Bielsa's team who enter as strong favourites on Monday. That hasn't bothered Saudi Arabia before, though, and the Green Falcons will be eager to begin their World Cup with an upset.

Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay: World Cup 2026 Match Preview
Saudi Arabia named three overseas players in their squad the last time they faced Uruguay at the World Cup. Nearly a decade later, that number has dropped to one: Saud Abdulhamid of Lens in France.
Whether or not that is a positive indicator of the impact of foreign talent on home-grown players in the Saudi Pro League will only become clear over time.
Bielsa's Uruguay are at the opposite end of the spectrum. None of their 26 players is based in his home country, with the majority split between Europe and Brazil.
One of the exceptions is former Benfica and Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez. Now 26 years old, Nunez has been on the books of Al-Hilal in Riyadh. Actually playing for them has been an entirely different matter.
Uruguay may be favourites in Miami, but they have not won a match since a friendly against fellow World Cup qualifiers Uzbekistan last October. Facundo Torres and Juan Sanabria scored that day.
Torres, back in the United States for his second stint in Major League Soccer, was omitted from Bielsa's squad.
