Arab Cup Committee Intensifies Efforts to Prevent Final Postponement with Urgent Lusail Stadium Pitch Maintenance

The Arab Cup Organizing Committee has intensified its efforts in recent hours to prevent any potential decision to postpone the tournament's final match, which is set to feature the Moroccan and Jordanian national teams.

Al-Botola learned from a special source that the pitch at Lusail Stadium underwent urgent maintenance work following the heavy rainfall experienced in Qatar today.

These actions come amid genuine concerns about the impact of the strong rainfall on the pitch's readiness and the possibility of postponing the final if the grass condition does not improve, ensuring player safety and game quality.

These concerns are reinforced by an earlier incident today when the referee of the third-place playoff match between Saudi Arabia and the UAE was forced to delay the start of the second half due to damage to the Khalifa International Stadium pitch, caused by heavy rain that significantly affected the flow of the game.

The organizing committee, in coordination with the relevant technical authorities, is keen to accelerate interventions at Lusail Stadium, hoping for the final to proceed as scheduled and enabling fans to watch the anticipated Arab summit under the best possible conditions.
