The 18th Arabian Gulf Cup (Template:Lang-ar) 18th edition took place in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, from 17 January 2007 to 30 January 2007.[1]

The tournament was won by the host country United Arab Emirates, who beat neighbors Oman 1–0 in the final, courtesy of a goal by Ismail Matar who finished the tournament as top scorer with five goals in all. The UAE became the fifth country to lift the title after Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

In the competition there was also some very serious disciplinary problems with a total of 38 yellow cards and 7 red cards awarded in only 12 matches. As in previous Gulf Cups there have also been bad refereeing calls.

The 18th Arabian Gulf Cup also had featured dramatically increased attendance when compared to the 15th Arabian Gulf Cup in Riyadh, and the 16th Arabian Gulf Cup in Kuwait.

  • In the beginning 15 minutes of the Oman-Yemen game, the cameras were malfunctioning, resulting in the side cameras being the only coverage of that part of the match.
