FIFA Arab Cup trophy begins tour across Gulf nations ahead of Qatar 2025

The FIFA Arab Cup trophy has begun its official tour across the Gulf region ahead of the tournament’s 2025 edition in Qatar.

The Organizing Committee launched the promotional campaign less than two months before the competition kicks off in Doha.

The tour will take the trophy through five Gulf countries — Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.

The journey aims to connect fans with the tournament, allowing supporters to celebrate Arab football and interact closely with the iconic prize.

The FIFA Arab Cup – Qatar 2025 will run from December 1 to 18, featuring 16 Arab nations competing across six stadiums used during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The promotional tour began in Saudi Arabia, where fans can view the trophy at several major venues.

It will appear in Riyadh at Boulevard World from October 12 to 15, in Jeddah at the Red Sea Mall from October 16 to 19, and in Dammam at Nakheel Mall from October 19 to 23.

From Saudi Arabia, the trophy will travel to Bahrain, where it will be displayed at The Avenues Mall in Manama between October 15 and 19.

In Kuwait, supporters can visit The Avenues Mall in Kuwait City from October 29 to November 2.

The Sultanate of Oman will host the trophy in Muscat, also at the Oman Avenues Mall, from October 29 to November 2.

In the United Arab Emirates, fans will have two opportunities to see the trophy.

It will appear at Dubai Mall from November 5 to 9 and at Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi during the same period.

The Organizing Committee plans to engage fans with detailed information about the competition throughout the tour.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to take photos with the trophy, creating memories ahead of the highly anticipated event.

Tickets for the FIFA Arab Cup – Qatar 2025 are already on sale through the official platform.

 Fans can purchase individual match tickets or passes that grant access to all group-stage matches of a specific national team.

The tournament schedule is available on the same website, detailing all fixtures and venues.

The opening match will take place at Al Bayt Stadium on December 1, with host nation Qatar facing the winner of the playoff between Libya and Palestine.

The final will be held at Lusail Stadium on December 18.

The FIFA Arab Cup – Qatar 2025 will use six stadiums from the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Sixteen teams will participate, including defending champions Algeria and host nation Qatar.

Before the main event, 14 teams will compete in an intercontinental qualifying phase, with seven winners joining the nine already qualified nations.

The Gulf tour marks a key moment in promoting the competition and building excitement among fans across the region.

As anticipation grows, the trophy’s journey serves as a symbol of unity and pride across the Arab world.
