Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain have decided to participate in the Arabian Gulf Cup in Qatar. This is the first time football players in these countries are coming to Qatar after a four-nation embargo. The countries explained that the decision was made at the request of the Arabian Gulf Cup Football Federation.
Launched in 1970, the Arabian Gulf Cup is a football tournament in which eight Gulf States compete. Kuwait hosted the competition last year. Qatar fell to the competition this time. The competition will run from November 24 to December 6.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt are under siege against Qatar for various reasons. The three countries decided not to participate in the competition. Unsurprisingly, the Football Federations of these countries gave their permission for the match.
Saudi, UAE and Bahrain players will be looking to compete in the Qatar World Cup for the fourth time. The Football Federation of the three countries said the decision was taken at the request of the organizers of the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation.
