Saudi Arabia wins rare Gulf Cup defense

The Saudi national team won the 27th Gulf Cup after an exceptional defensive performance, maintaining a clean sheet for a total of 480 minutes without conceding a goal. This is a rare achievement repeated only by Kuwait (1974) and Oman (2009). The Green began the tournament with three consecutive victories in the group stage and then defeated Qatar in the semi-finals on penalties, before securing the title against the United Arab Emirates. This victory marks their return to the tournament after a 20-year absence since 2003, and their fourth title in the history of the Gulf Cup.
