Saudi Arabia Vs UAE Live Score, FIFA Arab Cup Third-Place Match: Relentless Rain Keeps Play Stalled

The rain just won’t stop. Heavy showers continue to lash the stadium, leaving officials with no option but to keep play suspended as the pitch struggles to cope. For now, the weather remains firmly in control of this third-place clash.

The wait goes on. The rain just won’t ease, the pitch continues to take a beating, and officials are in no rush to bring the players back out. For now, the weather is winning this battle.

The downpour isn’t letting up. Sheets of rain are pouring onto the pitch, keeping players off and fans under cover. This clash for third place is on pause, and we’re watching the storm take center stage for now.

Just as the second half was getting going, the skies opened up. Heavy rain has forced a pause in the action, players head off, fans dash for cover, and we wait to see when this Arab Cup clash will resume.

What a first half! Both sides came out swinging, creating chances and testing each other constantly, but neither could break through. The third-place clash is living up to the hype, end-to-end action, intensity high, and plenty more to come in the second half.

Saudi Arabia finally threaten. Nasser Al Dawsari races onto a through ball and fires a shot, but it smacks right into the UAE defense. Not long after, Ali Saleh tries his luck with a strong strike, only to meet the same fate. Both teams still feeling each other out, but sparks are flying.

UAE turn the screw. Ali Saleh latches on to Sultan Adil’s pass and lets fly for the right corner, but Al Najjar is right there, sharp hands, pushes it out for a corner. The delivery comes straight back into the danger zone, Al Ghassani swings hard, and drags it wide. Saudi Arabia breathe again, but the pressure is real now.

We’re off. Saudi Arabia get things rolling with purpose, UAE set up fast and compact. Early tackles fly in, the tempo’s sharp, and there’s no feeling-out period here. This one’s alive from the first whistle.

Despite earning FIFA recognition in 2021, the FIFA Arab Cup 2025 will not be live-streamed on the FIFA+ platform. Instead, fans in India can watch the match live on the Alkass YouTube channel and the Shoof app and website for free.
