The third stage of qualification started brightly for the "Whites," with an impressive away victory over Qatar (3:1), but then followed some disappointing matches.

In their home match against Iran, the UAE lost narrowly 0-1, and in the 4th round, they were defeated by Uzbekistan with the same score. However, they managed to improve their situation in the last two rounds, where they beat Kyrgyzstan and Qatar with a combined score of 8-0. In the first round of the Arabian Gulf Cup, the UAE drew with Qatar 1-1.

On the other hand, Kuwait finished second in the second stage of qualifying, earning seven points from six matches, nine points behind group leader Qatar. However, in the third stage, Kuwait has struggled to find their form and is still without a win.

After six matches, Kuwait has only four points and is in fifth place in the group. The gap from Oman is not yet critical (2 points), but the second place with seven points is within reach. In the first round of the Arabian Gulf Cup, Kuwait drew with Oman 1-1.
