Early years[edit]
Around 1970, the first gulf cup was held between Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain. The tournament ended with Kuwait winning all games and their first gulf cup title.
Blockade[edit]
UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia boycotted Qatar due to political tensions.[2][3][4] As a result both national teams have been never been friendly towards each other and captain of the UAE youth team have refused to shake hands with Qatar's youth Captain.[5] During UAE semi final match against Qatar, many fans threw bottles, shoes and many other items at the Qatari players in protest against the match. The match ended with a 4–0 Qatari victory.[6]
