Arab Cup 2025 Semi-Finals: Key Details and Ticket Information
The Arab Cup 2025 is heading for its sharpest edge. The noise has risen, the margins have shrunk, and now only the biggest nights remain: the semi‑finals.
Four places. Two stadiums. One path to the trophy.
The road to the last four
The quarter-finals on December 15 open the door to the final sprint. Eight of the region’s heavyweights — Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Algeria, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and Morocco — are locked into knockout football, each just two wins away from the final.
Every tie is sudden death. Win and you move one step closer to lifting the Arab Cup 2025. Lose and the dream ends on the spot.
From those quarter-finals will come the four semi-finalists, feeding directly into two prime-time showdowns that will define the tournament.
When and where the semi-finals kick off
The semi-finals are set for December 15, 2025, split across two of Qatar’s flagship arenas:
- 15 December 2025, 18:30 W26 vs W28 – Khalifa International Stadium, Al Rayyan
- 15 December 2025, 21:30 W25 vs W27 – Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor
Two evening kick-offs, two very different settings, one shared theme: high-stakes football under the lights.
Tickets: how to get into the semi-final cauldron
Getting through the turnstiles will be a contest of its own.
Official semi-final tickets for Arab Cup 2025 come in several price bands, giving fans some flexibility:
- Category 1: from QAR 100
- Category 2: from QAR 80
- Category 3 and accessible tickets: from QAR 40
As the tournament tightens and the stakes rise, those official allocations are likely to disappear quickly. Once they do, the hunt moves to the resale market.
Trusted resale platforms such as StubHub can step in at that point, listing verified tickets with buyer guarantees. Prices will swing with demand and availability, so timing matters. Move early and you stand a better chance of finding seats that suit both your view and your budget.
If you do go down the resale route, treat it like a big game: pay attention to the details. Compare prices across reputable sites, read the guarantees carefully, and check seller ratings where they’re available. The semi-finals are among the hottest tickets of the entire competition; availability can change in hours, not days.
And remember: most tickets in Qatar are digital. You’ll need the correct apps, accounts, and devices set up before matchday. No fan wants to be wrestling with logins at the turnstile while the teams are walking out.
The stages for the semi-finals
The Arab Cup 2025 semi-finals will be played in two of Qatar’s standout venues, both sharpened by their World Cup experience and built to handle the biggest nights.
Khalifa International Stadium (Al Rayyan) – 45,857 capacity A World Cup–grade arena with modern facilities, sharp sightlines, and a reputation for handling large, noisy crowds with ease. It’s compact enough to feel intense, big enough to feel global.
Al Bayt Stadium (Al Khor) – 68,895 capacity One of the architectural centrepieces of Qatar’s football project, Al Bayt has already hosted some of the sport’s biggest occasions. Its design channels the noise, and every tier offers a clear view of the action.
Both stadiums are plugged into Qatar’s broader World Cup-era infrastructure: climate control to keep the football quick, strong public transport links to move fans in and out, and hospitality areas designed for those who want a premium matchday.
The stage is ready. The brackets are set. Now it’s down to the teams — and the fans quick enough to secure their seats — to decide who writes the next chapter of the Arab Cup 2025.
