Sultan congratulates Saudis On 27th Gulf Cup victory

Oct 6

The Sultan sends congratulations to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Saudi Arabia's victory in the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup. The messages praise the successful hosting and organisation of the competition, the teams' performances and sportsmanship, and wish the Saudi team further achievements. This is a report of official congratulations and the winning team; it does not supply the final's score.

The October 5 Oman TV sports preview schedules the Saudi Arabia–UAE final for October 6 at Alinma Stadium in Jeddah, discussing preparations and Saudi Arabia's pursuit of a fourth title and the UAE's pursuit of a third. Its pre-match status is preserved. The October 7 bulletin subsequently reports Saudi Arabia's victory in the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup through the Sultan's congratulatory messages to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This supplies the winner, but no final score is given in the retrieved broadcasts.
