Doha, Qatar: Boosted by home support and energised by their recent FIFA World Cup qualification, hosts Qatar enter the highly-anticipated FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 as one of the tournament favourites.
The competition kicks off today, promising excitement and fierce battles across the 16-team lineup.
Qatar finished third in the regional tournament four years ago, defeating Egypt in a thrilling play-off, while Algeria lifted the trophy with a win over Tunisia in the final. The participating teams include seven sides that advanced from last week’s Doha qualifiers, all battling for a spot in the quarter-finals on December 11 and 12 after the group stage concludes on December 9.
The tournament boasts some of the region’s strongest sides. Morocco, ranked 11th in the FIFA world rankings, lead the pack, with Egypt (34th), Algeria (35th), Tunisia (40th), and Qatar (51st) also among the favourites. Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq are tipped to be dark horses.
The grand finale is set for December 18, coinciding with Qatar National Day, at the iconic Lusail Stadium.
