The meeting was attended by the OFA chairman and OFA Executive Director Fahad al Raisi, in presence of the Shaikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed al Thani, President of AGCFF, and the members.
The AGCFF executive committee approved postponement of the 25th edition of the Arabian Gulf Cup in Basra city to January 2023. Also, AGCFF executive confirmed extension of the federation's executive term until May 2023.

The AGCFF opened the doors for hosting of the 26th edition of the Arabian Gulf Cup and the period of submitting the applications will be from December 23 until January 2024.
