FIFA canceled the bronze medal match at the Arab Cup due to rain. The game between the national teams of Saudi Arabia and the UAE was interrupted after the first half due to bad weather, and later the referee completely stopped the match, declaring it impossible to continue due to the downpour. As a result, both teams were recognized as bronze medalists of the tournament.



In the final, the Moroccan national team defeated the Jordanian team with a score of 3:2 and became the champion of the Arab Cup for the 11th time. It is worth noting that the most titled team of the tournament remains the national team of Iraq with 4 trophies.



The Ukrainian national football team continues its fight for a place in the World Cup, defeating Iceland with a score of 2:0 in the decisive match of the first qualifying round. After setbacks in previous games, the Ukrainians managed to score two goals in the second half and continue to dream of participating in the World Cup.
