The 2025 Arab Cup is making its much-anticipated return to Qatar this year, slated to run from Dec. 1-18, 2025. Expected to take place in the same state-of-the-art stadiums that hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Gulf State continues to show its dedication to organizing world-class sporting events.
The Arab Cup’s last iteration, which was held four years ago in 2021, saw Algeria bring the much-coveted trophy home, defeating their neighboring rivals Tunisia in a thrilling 2-0 final.
For its next edition, fans can expect nothing less than top-tier experiences, thanks to Qatar’s cutting-edge infrastructure and obsessive attention to detail. A fierce battle for regional glory wrapped in an intoxicating atmosphere of passion and suspense, football diehards across the Arab World have already started wondering which team will rise to the occasion and claim victory this time around.
Will an underdog rise, or will the usual giants of Arab football reign supreme? As of now, no one knows—although one thing’s for sure: all roads are leading to Qatar, and the stakes have never been higher.
From what we know, the Arab Cup won’t be the only global sporting event the Gulf State will be hosting in the times to come as the country has already mapped out its plans to host a series of high-profile international competitions. According to several statements from the country’s own officials, over 80 sports events will be taking place in Qatar, including 15 world championships across different sports and athletic disciplines.
