Oman’s national Under-17 football team is set to face Qatar in their third match of the Gulf Under-17 Championship today at 6:45 PM local time. The game will take place at Hamad Al-Khalifa Stadium, where the UAE team will later play Bahrain at 9:00 PM.

Oman enters the match seeking its first goal of the tournament, having lost its first two games against Saudi Arabia and the UAE by narrow margins. Despite showing competitive performances, the team has yet to find the back of the net and hopes to end its scoring drought against Qatar.

Qatar’s Under-17 squad also arrives at the match without any points, having suffered defeats in both previous outings. The team is currently at the bottom of the group standings, conceding three goals without scoring any themselves.

Before today’s fixtures, the group table is led by Saudi Arabia with seven points, followed by the UAE in second place with four points. Bahrain holds third place with three points, Oman is fourth with one point, and Qatar remains last without points or goals to their credit. The upcoming matches are expected to have significant implications for the final group rankings as teams vie for advancement in the tournament.
