The FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025™ Third Place play-off between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates has been indefinitely suspended due to lightning storms in close proximity to the stadium.
While the venue retained full operational integrity and the pitch remained in good condition, this action was taken by the referee and match officials to ensure the safety of all the players, fans and staff at the stadium.
The decision to award the Third Place winner will be decided in due course by the relevant committee within FIFA.
