BAHRAIN : The Omani squad secured the bronze after a 3–0 victory over the host nation, Bahrain, in the third-place playoff. The team’s spirited performance came after a tough semi-final loss to Saudi Arabia, who edged past Oman with a 3–0 scoreline.

Throughout the tournament, the national team displayed remarkable skill, teamwork, and determination. They advanced to the semi-finals following a strong run in the preliminary qualifiers, defeating Indonesia 2–0, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the UAE by the same scoreline. They also notched a 2–1 win over Bahrain and faced their only group-stage setback against Jordan, losing narrowly 1–2.

This bronze marks Oman’s first-ever medal in the “Rocket League” category at the Asian Youth Games.
