قفازان ونهائي واحد.. العويس يتحدى أبو ندى

All eyes are on the Al-Inma Stadium in Jeddah on Saturday evening, where the Green team faces its Qatari counterpart in the semi-finals of the 27th Gulf Cup, in a match that allows no room for half measures, and the goalkeepers may play a decisive role in determining who advances to the final.

On the Saudi side, Mohammed Al-Owais faces a new task of protecting the Green's goal after a remarkable presence in the tournament, during which he kept a clean sheet against Oman and Iraq, and saved several dangerous attempts, confirming the value of his experience in big matches.

On the Qatari side, Mahmoud Abu Nida stands out with notable experience with the Maroon team, having caught attention during his recent participation, especially in the match against Switzerland when he saved several clear chances and contributed to his team's draw.

Al-Owais's experience against Abu Nida's ambition
