The World Cup and individual pages are located at the top of the timeline for every game - including scores, Tweets, video and Moments. In addition, the Saudi Arabia team has its own country-specific emoji on Twitter. When people use the following hashtags, the Saudi flag will appear after the text:

#KSA , #Green_Falcons , معاك_يالأخضر#

 

As mentioned earlier, we will be sharing similar data following the KSA match against Egypt (#KSAEGY) on 25 June.
