Saudi Arabia-UAE match history before Gulf Cup 27
The final of the Gulf 27 Championship between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will be held at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. The Saudi national team is aiming to win the title for the fourth time after their victory over Qatar on penalties, while the UAE team seeks to secure their third title following their win over Oman in the semi-finals. The two teams have faced each other 33 times in the past, with Saudi Arabia leading in victories, especially in the Gulf Cup, where they have won 11 times compared to UAE's 3, and scored 28 goals versus 11 for the UAE. Historically, their encounters began in 1972; one of their most notable matches was the 1996 AFC Asian Cup final, when Saudi Arabia defeated them on penalties after a goalless draw. Their most recent meeting was a match for third place in the 2025 Arab Cup, which was canceled after the first half due to rain, with both teams ultimately awarded third place. Fans are focused on their teams' aspirations to win the trophy, while the rivalry remains significant both historically and statistically between the two sides.
