MUSCAT : Oman’s national football team is ready for their highly anticipated semi-final match against Saudi Arabia in the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup tomorrow, December 31, at 6:30 PM. Coach Rashid Jaber expressed confidence ahead of the crucial encounter, stating that the team’s primary goal is to qualify for the final.

“We are ready to play the important match against the Saudi national team, and our goal is to qualify for the final,” Jaber said, emphasizing the significance of the upcoming clash.

However, the team will face some challenges as key players Amjad Al-Harthi and Salah Al-Yahyaei will miss the match due to injury, while Mohammed Al-Musalmi will be absent due to an accumulation of cards. Despite these setbacks, Jaber reassured fans of the team’s resilience and readiness.

“We trust all the players, and while Al-Musalmi’s absence will be significant, we believe in the ability of the entire squad,” said Jaber. “The focus and mental presence of our players can solve any problem in the match.”
