$36.5 million prize set for Fifa Arab Cup
QATAR: The 2025 Fifa Arab Cup will have a record prize fund of more than $36.5 million, Qatar's Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the regional tournament announced on Thursday. The competition, which features senior men's national teams from the 22-member Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA), representing both Asia and Africa, takes place from December 1 to 18. "This announcement further elevates the stature of the Fifa Arab Cup, a tournament we reinstated in 2021 and reflects Qatar's leading role in developing football across the region and beyond," said Shaikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed al Thani, Minister of Sports and Youth and LOC Chairman in a statement.
