GFF U17 Gulf Cup Qatar 2026 brings together national teams from Qatar, China, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen and Kuwait. The teams compete in two groups of five, with matches spread across Grand Hamad Stadium, Hamad bin Khalifa Stadium and Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium.
For visitors choosing a match, the team pairing, kick-off time and stadium all matter: fixtures take place on selected dates rather than every day. Group-stage kick-offs are at 17:45 or 20:00, with both matches starting at 17:45 on 28 and 29 October.
