After criticism for not actively participating in a minute's silence, the SAFF have issued an apology for the team's actions
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) unreservedly apologised for not taking part in the minute's silence for victims of the London terror attack prior to their match against Australia.
The Socceroos defeated Saudi Arabia 3-2 in an enthralling World Cup qualifier in Adelaide on Thursday, but it was events prior to kick-off that stole headlines.
While Australia's players locked arms around the centre circle to honour the eight victims, two of whom were Australian, of last Saturday's attack at London Bridge and Borough Market, the Saudi team did not follow suit.
