UAE beat Oman to reach Gulf Cup final

The UAE advanced to the Arabian Gulf Cup final with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Oman in the second semi-final in Jeddah on Saturday.

Ousmane Camara scored the game's only goal in the 22nd minute, finishing off a strong first-half performance from the UAE, who will now face hosts Saudi Arabia in Tuesday's title decider.

The UAE reached the semi-finals after topping Group B with seven points, finishing ahead of Qatar on goal difference.

Oman, meanwhile, made history by reaching the semi-finals via a draw of lots after finishing level with Iraq in the group stage.

The UAE will now take on Saudi Arabia, who earlier defeated Qatar 3-2 on penalties after a goalless draw, to determine the 2026 Arabian Gulf Cup champions.
