The 2021 FIFA Arab Cup

Arabic: كأس العرب 2021) was the 10th edition of the Arab Cup, the Arab world's[note 1] national team football tournament;[2][3] it was the first edition under FIFA's jurisdiction.[4]With previous editions having been organized by the Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA). It took place between 30 November and 18 December in Qatar as a prelude and test event to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which was also held in Qatar.[3]

The tournament phase involved 16 teams, of which seven came through the qualifying round; all 23 teams competing were under the auspices of either the

Of the 23 participating teams,[7] the top nine teams based on the April 2021 FIFA Ranking directly qualified to the group stage, while the remaining 14 teams played seven single-leg matches, with seven teams going through to the group stage.[8] In the group stage, there were four groups of four teams in a round-robin format, with the top two teams from each group qualifying to the knockout stage,[9] which consisted of quarter-finals, semi-finals, a play-off for third place, and the final.[10]

The 14 teams in the qualifiers were paired based on their April 2021 FIFA Ranking:[10] the highest-ranked team in the qualifiers, Oman, played against the lowest-ranked team, Somalia.[11] Lebanon, the second-highest ranked team, played against Djibouti, the second-lowest ranked team, and so on.[11] The teams that won qualification matches 1, 2 and 3 occupied positions 2, 3 and 4 in pot 3, and the remaining teams were placed in pot 4 in order.[10]

South Sudan forfeited their qualifying match due to the high number of COVID-19 cases among the South Sudan delegation.[12] The Algerian FA decided in July 2020 to send the Algeria A' (local) team,[13][14][15] however, their final squad included players from other Arab leagues to strengthen the team.[16] The Moroccan FA also decided to send the Morocco A' (local) team,[17][18] however, they also later strengthened the team with players from other Arab leagues.[19][20]

Draw

The group stage draw took place on 27 April 2021 at 21:00

AST at the Katara Opera House in Doha.[7][11] It was conducted by Manolo Zubiria, FIFA's director of competitions, and four former players: Wael Gomaa (Egypt), Nawaf Al-Temyat (Saudi Arabia), Haitham Mustafa (Sudan) and Younis Mahmoud (Iraq).[22]

Method

The sixteen teams were drawn into four groups of four teams. The draw started with pot 1 and completed with pot 4, from where a team was drawn and assigned to the first available group in the position of their pot (i.e. position 1 for pot 1).

The hosts Qatar were automatically seeded into pot 1 and assigned to position A1, while the remaining automatically qualified teams were seeded into their respective pots based on the FIFA World Ranking of April 2021 (shown in parentheses below). Syria, the lowest-ranked team that automatically qualified, were joined in pot 3 by the winners of qualification matches 1 to 3, while pot 4 contained the winners of qualification matches 4 to 7. Algeria, as the winners of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, were assigned to position D1.[10]

With the exception of Andrés Mattonte (Uruguay) and Facundo Tello (Argentina), all referees had previously officiated matches in a continental tournament.
