Qatari team players flexing their muscles ahead of their Gulf Cup final against hosts Saudi Arabia, to be played at Riyadh’s King Fahd International Stadium tomorrow. The Djamel Belmadi’s side cruised into the final after a resounding 3-1 victory over Oman in the semi-final on Sunday. The Maroons, having drawn all their group matches are yet to be defeated in the high-profile tournament. It may be recalled that Qatar entered the Gulf Cup with four successive wins in friendly games including an impressive 1-0 victory over Australia in Doha, last month. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand overcame UAE 3-2 in hard-fought semi-final. The eagerly-awaited final will kick-off at 7:45pm local time.
