(CNN) - The Saudi national team achieved the Arabian Gulf Cup title for the fourth time in its history, after defeating its Emirati counterpart by two, on the grounds of Al-Enmaa Stadium in Jeddah, on Tuesday.

“Al-Akhdar” won the title despite losing during the tournament to the services of the trio Salem Al-Dosari and Saud Abdul-Hamid due to injury, and Musab Al-Jawir due to a disciplinary decision.

Despite their absence from “Gulf 27”, the Saudi national team trio celebrated the title.

Saud Abdul Hamid wrote through his account on the “X” platform: “I extend my highest congratulations and blessings to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, to His Highness the Crown Prince, and to His Highness the Minister of Sports, on the occasion of our national team achieving the Gulf Cup Championship.”

He added: "I also congratulate my fellow players and the technical and administrative staff for this distinguished effort and great effort that culminated in a dear title that the nation deserves."

Al-Dosari said: “A thousand congratulations on this achievement for our beloved country, and thanks to everyone who contributed to its achievement.”

While Al-Jawair was present in the stadium for the final match, he was seen participating in the title-winning ceremony with his colleagues, feeling extremely happy.

Musab Al-Jawir, who was excluded before the tournament for a disciplinary reason, contented himself with a media statement, which said: “Congratulations, you deserve all the best.”
