Emirati lead and Omani win in 2018 final
The UAE national football team aims to strengthen its historical dominance over Oman in their head-to-head encounters in the Gulf Cup. The White Team has secured 12 wins out of their previous 23 matches, while Oman has achieved 3 victories, and there have been 8 draws. Despite the UAE's overall advantage, the last final in 2018 showcased Oman’s superiority, as they won on penalties after a goalless draw. This victory came after a series of previous wins by the UAE in their confrontations. It is also worth noting that Oman achieved its first points in the Gulf Cup in 1976, with the period from 1976 to 2002 being a time of UAE dominance, as they did not lose a single match. This trend changed when Oman won three consecutive matches between 2003 and 2007, but the tide turned back in favor of the UAE after they secured their first title in 2007. Prior to the upcoming semi-final match in Gulf Cup 27, the two teams have never faced each other in the knockout stage before, only meeting in the third-place playoff in 2014, which the UAE won.
