Gulf Cup format changes with participant numbers

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Gulf Cup football tournament has evolved its format according to the number of participating teams throughout its history. It initially started with a single round-robin league system when four teams participated. The system then developed to include multiple teams, adopting a two-group format in later editions. As the number of teams increased, a group stage with semi-finals and a final match was implemented, and the qualification system was unified so that the winners of each group advanced to the knockout stage starting from 2004. Currently, the 27th Gulf Cup is being held in Jeddah, featuring eight teams, and will continue until October 6, with teams competing for the title under this system.
