The official authorities announced the postponement of the match between the Saudi Arabia and UAE national teams, which was part of the 2025 Arab Cup competition, due to the inability to continue the game because of heavy rain.

Khalifa International Stadium hosted the match between the two national teams to determine third and fourth place, before the weather conditions caused a disruption in the progress of the game.

The refereeing team confirmed the decision to postpone the match until further notice, following the heavy rainfall on the field, which prevented the continuation of the game.

The match experienced a delayed start to the second half due to rain, which affected the readiness of the pitch and raised concerns about player safety.

The organizing committee decided to keep the players of both teams inside the locker rooms for a period of time, awaiting an improvement in the weather conditions and ensuring the suitability of the field.

With the return of the rains, the official decision was made to postpone the meeting to a later date, which will be announced in due course.

The first half of the match ended in a goalless draw before the game was halted and the encounter was officially postponed.
