Saudi trio achieves eighth qualification
The Saudi national football team has advanced to the semi-finals of the Gulf Cup for the eighth time in its history, after defeating Oman 3-0 in the second round of Group A in the 27th edition. Striker Feras Al-Birakan scored two goals in the 11th and 34th minutes, while defender Hassan Kadesh netted the third goal in the 18th minute. With this victory, the Green Falcons raised their points tally to 6, leading the group standings and ensuring their direct qualification before the final round.

Their semi-final journey begins against Iraq, while Oman can no longer officially compete for the qualification.
