Al Ahli’s Ivan Toney is set to return to the Roshn Saudi League carrying a FIFA World Cup bronze medal after England beat France in Saturday night’s third-place play-off.
The result gives Toney another major milestone before he resumes club duties in Saudi Arabia. His return adds fresh attention to Al Ahli and the Roshn Saudi League, with one of the competition’s high-profile England internationals coming back from the global tournament with a podium finish.
For Al Ahli, Toney’s bronze-medal achievement is also a notable boost in visibility. International success for players based in the Saudi top flight continues to underline the league’s growing presence on the world stage.
Attention will now shift from the World Cup back to domestic football, where Toney is expected to rejoin Al Ahli after helping England end its campaign with third place.
