UAE reaches final of Gulf Football Cup

The UAE team beat the current champions Kuwait 1-0 to reach the finals of the Gulf Cup Semi Final held in Manama, Bahrain. In the last couple of years the football has grown tremendously in the country which is not just followed by boys but girls as well. We have seen the likes of Diego Maradona coaching Al Wasl club and then Barcelona playing an exhibition match in Abu Dhabi. Given the interest of local Emirati's in football, the government has been very supportive in developing good footballers.
The final will be on 18th January between UAE and Iraq. I would like to wish them best of luck and hope that UAE  will win. The only time UAE has won the Gulf Cup was in 2007.
