The Bahrain national team celebrated their second Gulf Cup title with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Oman in the 2025 final, held at Jaber Al-Ahmad Stadium in Kuwait. The match turned into one of the most thrilling contests in the tournament’s history.
Oman took the lead in the first half through a goal by Al-Mashafari and maintained their advantage with solid defensive performance until the final minutes. Bahrain staged an extraordinary comeback, scoring two consecutive goals in the 79th and 80th minutes by Mohamed Marhoon and Mohamed Al-Musallami to claim the win.
Before reaching the final, Bahrain defeated Kuwait in the semifinals, entering the decisive match with high momentum. Oman, on the other hand, earned their spot in the final with a hard-fought victory over Saudi Arabia, despite playing with 10 men for much of the match.
This victory reinforces Bahrain’s position in regional football and boosts their FIFA ranking. With their first title won in previous years, Bahrain has now firmly established themselves as a competitive force in Gulf football.
