Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will clash earlier in the day to decide who finishes third in the Arab Cup. While the trophy will be settled later, this match still carries weight for two teams eager to leave the tournament on a positive note.
Saudi Arabia Look to Finish Strong
Saudi Arabia enter the third-place playoff under pressure to bounce back, especially with the World Cup just six months away. The Green Falcons will be aiming to close their campaign with a win, though they’ll be without suspended defender Waleed Al Ahmed, forcing changes at the back.
UAE Seek Response After Semi-Final Loss
The UAE come into the match after a 3-0 loss to Morocco in the semi-finals. The result may push head coach Cosmin Olaroiu to make adjustments as the team begins shifting focus toward the Asian Cup, which will be hosted in Saudi Arabia next year. Still, a third-place finish remains a clear target.
