Kuwait v Iraq: Ticket prices, buying guide and latest Gulf Cup details

Kuwait will face Iraq in the group stage of the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup at Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium in Jeddah on 26 September 2026, with tickets available through the official WeBook platform.

The Group A fixture brings together two longstanding Gulf rivals, with both sides competing for important points in the tournament in Saudi Arabia.

Supporters can buy official tickets directly from WeBook, the main ticket distributor for matches at the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup. The platform is the primary option for fans seeking seats at the original price during both the pre-sale and general sale periods.

If tickets sell out on the official website, secondary platforms such as Grintahub provide an alternative source.

Standard tickets on WeBook usually start at 15 Saudi riyals for general-admission seats behind the goals. Prices increase according to the category and position of the seat inside Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium.

On secondary markets, including Grintahub, tickets currently start at 45 Saudi riyals per seat. The final price can vary depending on the section, the location of the seat and demand in the market at the time of purchase.

Details of the television coverage and live-streaming arrangements have not yet been confirmed. Information about the official broadcaster and live coverage will be updated when it becomes available before the match.
