Both games will kick off at the same time, 8:30 PM. The Kuwait-Oman clash will be held at Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium, while the Saudi Arabia-Iraq encounter will take place at the Inma’ Stadium within King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.
Kuwait enters its final match having missed out on a spot in the semi-finals after losing its previous two games: 1-0 to Saudi Arabia and 3-2 to Iraq. Oman, on the other hand, has one point and remains in contention for qualification, needing a victory over Kuwait, along with a favorable result from the Saudi Arabia-Iraq match and a positive goal difference, to secure their place in the next round.
In the other match, Saudi Arabia enters the game as group leaders with six points, having won their first two matches and already secured their spot in the semi-finals. Iraq sits in second place with four points and needs either a win or a draw to guarantee advancement to the next stage.
The final round’s two matches will be played simultaneously to determine the final standings of Group A and identify the team that will join Saudi Arabia in the semi-finals.
