The Organizing Committee for the 26th Gulf Cup has announced that the tournament draw will take place at the Waldorf Astoria Kuwait on Saturday, November 9th, at 7:00 PM local time.

The tournament will start on December 21 and wrap up on January 3.

The Gulf Cup, a biennial football competition featuring national teams from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Yemen, has been a cornerstone of regional sports since its inception in 1970.

The 26th edition of the tournament is generating considerable excitement, particularly given Kuwait’s role as the host nation.

Kuwait, which has a rich history in the Gulf Cup with ten titles to its name, is pulling out all the stops to ensure a memorable tournament. Sources close to the organizing committee have hinted at special guests and performances planned for the evening, though details remain under wraps.

The event is likely to be broadcast live across multiple platforms, allowing fans throughout the region to witness the draw as it unfolds. Defending champions Bahrain will be looking to retain their title, while hosts Kuwait will be eager to add to their impressive tally of Gulf Cup titles.
