The tournament will be hosted in Doha from December 4 to 16, as part of a series of competitions organized by the Federation — which include the Gulf Cup for senior national teams, the youth and junior championships recently held in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the Gulf Champions League for clubs, played in a home-and-away format featuring eight teams divided into two groups, with the top two from each group advancing to the semifinals.
The AGCFF’s tournaments have achieved remarkable success both at the national team and club levels, attracting significant media coverage and fan engagement. They have also helped uncover a new generation of young talents who are expected to become key players in their respective national teams in the future.
Through these championships, the AGCFF reaffirms its commitment to developing Gulf football and strengthening its regional and international presence, further enhancing the standing of Gulf teams across all levels.
