Team Qatar to face Saudi Arabia at U-20 Gulf Cup

DOHA -  Qatar’s U-20 national football team will take on hosts Saudi Arabia today , Wednesday, at the Prince Sultan Sports City Stadium in Abha, in their final Group A match at the Gulf U-20 Cup, which runs until September 9.

In the other group fixture, Kuwait will meet Yemen at the Damac Stadium. Saudi Arabia currently leads the group with four points, followed by Yemen on three, Kuwait on two, and Qatar in fourth place with one point.

Qatar began their campaign with a 2–2 draw against Kuwait, before falling 1–0 to Yemen in their second outing. Head coach Emanuel Infante will be looking to steer his side back on track and secure their first victory of the tournament to keep semi-final hopes alive. For team Qatar  to progress, they must beat Saudi Arabia to reach four points, while hoping the Kuwait–Yemen clash ends in a draw.

Infante also views the tournament as an important opportunity to gain valuable technical experience and prepare the squad for upcoming continental challenges.

The tournament matches are being played across the Prince Sultan Sports City and Damac Stadiums, with the semi-finals scheduled for Sunday and the final set for September 10.
