Oman News Agency said on Tuesday that the land and payments to players, coaches and technical staff were “in appreciation for their grand accomplishment which instilled happiness in all Omanis and residents on this dear homeland”.
“The Royal orders covered all players of the team, as well as their technical and administrative apparatuses,” according to the announcement.”
The exact size of the payments was not disclosed.
The Arabian Gulf Cup was held in Kuwait instead of its scheduled venue Qatar due to a continued boycott of the latter by Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain since June 2018.
The three countries accuse Qatar of supporting terrorism and fostering links with Iran in a way that harms the GCC.
The final game at Kuwait City’s Jaber Al Ahmad International Stadium drew headlines for the wrong reasons in the aftermath after a glass barrier shattered, sending celebrating Omani fans plummeting to the ground. The incident was held to be an accident and no violence nor huliganism was reported.
The Omani football tea, returned home to a hero’s welcome with all residents and businesses celebrating their historic achievement.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
