A Kuwaiti goes for a shot.

KUWAIT CITY, Dec 14: The third edition of the Arabian Gulf Cup for men's and women's padel teams, which began last Wednesday at the Regency Hotel, is set to conclude this evening.

The final match for the men's competition, as well as the third-place playoff, will take place today. The Kuwaiti national men's team advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Bahrain 2-1 at the end of the group stage on Saturday night. The UAE team also secured a 2-1 victory over Qatar.

Meanwhile, the Kuwaiti national women's team is aiming for the gold medal as they face Oman today. Both teams triumphed over Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the first two rounds, setting up a decisive showdown for first place in the competition's final round.

The match between Kuwait and Oman is expected to be highly competitive. Oman, the defending champion from the first two editions of the Gulf Cup, boasts considerable experience in international events. However, the impressive performances from Kuwait's national team suggest a strong desire to claim gold, with a large crowd anticipated to support them in the stands.
