[Arabian Gulf Cup] Qatar has defeated Oman in their last three encounters.
In the second stage of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Oman displayed a strong level of performance, earning 13 points across six matches and securing first place ahead of Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, and Taiwan. However, the third stage of qualification proved more challenging. Oman's opponents included South Korea, Iraq, and Jordan.
In six matches, Oman collected six points and currently sits in fourth place. In December, Oman played a friendly against Yemen, securing a 1-0 victory. During the first round of the Arabian Gulf Cup, Oman faced Kuwait, ending in a 1-1 draw.
On the other hand, Qatar, after triumphing in the Asian Cup, faced no significant challenges in the second stage of World Cup qualification. Across six matches, Qatar remained undefeated and claimed first place in their group with 16 points.
The third stage, however, has been far tougher, with opponents such as Iran, Uzbekistan, and the UAE. After six rounds, Qatar occupies only fourth place, trailing the UAE by three points and group leader Iran by nine. In the first round of the Arabian Gulf Cup, Qatar also drew 1-1 with a familiar opponent from the qualifiers, the UAE.
