Source-derived summary

Below are the squads for the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup, which will take place in Kuwait between 21 December 2024 to 3 January 2025.

The eight national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad with a minimum of 18 players and a maximum of 26 players, at least three of whom had to be goalkeepers. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament.

The age listed for each player is as of 21 December 2024, the first day of the tournament. The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of the tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. The club listed is the last club where the player concerned plays a competitive match before the tournament. A flag is included for coaches that are of a different nationality than their own national team.

Group A

Kuwait

Kuwait announced a 30-man preliminary list on 24 November 2024. The final squad was announced on 16 December.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as list of footballers. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131574377. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024 and 2025.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
