I hope Kuwait wins, but my bet's on Bahrain or Oman, we'll see how the preparations go, and I will post a more decisive bet
Go Kuwait Gooooooooooooooooo I m all for kuwait, though they got too many gulf cups i dont think they need any more, bassssssssssssssssss
'Kuwait, Iraq and Yemen are currently in the United Arab Emirates.' 'Kuwait and Iraq are currently staying in the same hotel and Iraq requested for the Kuwait to play a friendly match with them but it was rejected. FA of Iraq President Hussein Said then requested for a joint training session with their Kuwaiti counterparts. The Kuwaiti officials still has not made a decision on it.' from http://www.the-afc.com/english/media/default.asp?mnaction=news&action=details&newsID=948
I'm rooting for either UAE or Oman but something tells me that Bahrain might spring a few surprises here.
I am taking an interest in Gulf Cup. But I need some help. Does anyone know where I can get news and match reports about this competition in English (if there is any)? Thanks.
could not find the offecial qatari site for the tournament http://www.futbolplanet.de/asia/gulf_cup/17_gulf_cup_2004.htm www.gulfcup.com is a kuwaiti sponsered site for the tournament.
This is the official site: www.gulfcup.qa But it is only in Arabic. For results in English, I suggest: www.goalzz.com
Thanks Saudi Bill and HiJazzey. I'll keep check of the scores from the English sites mentioned. p.s. Congrats on Ittihad's Champions League victory, HiJazzey.
What dose recognition by Fifa bring? I went to fifa site, found it listing saudi matches in the previous Gulf Cup. Could not find a direct link to the cup their though.
Yes, FIFA recognises this tourny sepp platter showed up in the last tourny in Kuwait... regional tourny's that are not based on race or religion are usually recognised by FIFA... unlike the Arabs cup which is based on race, the Gulf cup is recognised by FIFA as a regional tournament.
I dont see what your getting at.....even if it isn't recognized by Fifa why does it matter? It's a good chance for fans of gulf teams to enjoy watching their teams play....
after carrying out a little research on the net, I realised that it is not recognised by FIFA!!! so no proof for you well, not from me anyways
lol Thought so. Just made me think that you know something I dont since I looked it up too (very short time )
What are the competetions recognized by fifa? Is there a table of some sort? ww.fifa.com is all world cup this world cup that!
