Saudi national team player Hammam Al-Hammami won the Prince Khaled Al-Faisal Award for Best Player at the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup, which concluded yesterday in the Saudi city of Jeddah. Saudi goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais received the award for Best Goalkeeper after keeping a clean sheet throughout the tournament, while his compatriot Feras Al-Brikan claimed the tournament’s top scorer award with three goals. Meanwhile, Yemeni national team player Adel Abbas won the award for Best Emerging Player. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Football Association had announced that the Best Player award would be named after Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Emir of the Makkah Region, in recognition of his contributions to the development of Gulf sports and the enduring association of his name with the history of the Arabian Gulf Cup since its inception.
