26th Arabian Gulf Cup squads
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.
