Gulf Identity in Cup Car Designs over 56 Years
Over the course of 56 years, the design of the Gulf Cup has evolved to reflect the heritage identity of the Gulf people. It began in 1970 with an olive branch symbol, followed by designs varying between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, incorporating gold materials. All designs drew inspiration from regional traditional features such as the incense burner (mabkhara), plaster decorations, and the traditional headscarf (shmagh). The current design was finalized in 2004, created by Iraqi sculptor Ahmed Al-Bahrani and manufactured by the Italian company GDE Bertoni. The current design, which features the Gulf incense burner, the shmagh, the ghutra, and the pearl, symbolizes the unity and solidarity of the region’s peoples. It is also connected to Iraq’s return to the tournament, bearing symbols that embody Gulf heritage and the history of pearl diving. The design combines artistic elements with inspirations drawn from both tangible and symbolic traditions, emphasizing that the trophy is not just an award, but a visual record that expresses the identity and history of the region.
