Saudi Arabia Crowned U-23 Gulf Cup Champions in Qatar

Saudi Arabia made a clear statement in Doha, powering past Iraq 2–0 to win the AGCFF U-23 Gulf Cup Qatar 2025 at Stadium 974. Calm, controlled, and clinical — the Green Falcons showed exactly why they were the team to beat.

Saudi Arabia seal it in style

The final didn’t drag on with drama — Saudi Arabia took charge early and never let go. Two well-earned goals were enough to shut the door on Iraq and secure the title in front of a packed crowd.

The tournament ran from December 4 to 16, bringing together the region’s top under-23 players for two weeks of fast, high-stakes football.

A historic first under AGCFF

This was the first U-23 Gulf Cup staged under the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation (AGCFF), giving the competition a fresh chapter. A total of 14 matches were played at Aspire Zone, on pitches already tested by the FIFA U-17 World Cup earlier this year.

Saudi Arabia’s win also follows their U-17 Gulf Cup victory, confirming their dominance across youth levels.

Qatar keeps the football coming

The U-23 Gulf Cup is just one piece of Qatar’s packed December football calendar. The country is also hosting the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup Qatar 2025, reinforcing its status as a regional football hub.

What this win signals

For Saudi Arabia, this title is more than a trophy — it’s proof their youth pipeline is delivering. For Gulf football fans, it’s a preview of the talent set to shape the next decade.
