Third match of the Arab Cup
According to The Sun: The third place match at the Arab Cup was interrupted due to a storm that hit the stadium. As a result, the winner was determined by committee members, not as a result of completing the game.
The match took place at Khalifa Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar, which has a capacity of 45,000 spectators. The national teams of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates faced off.
The situation with the match interruption highlights the unpredictability of sporting events, where even the weather can affect the outcomes. The committee made its decision based on the circumstances, although fans had hoped for an exciting conclusion to the game.
