The 20th Arabian Gulf Cup (Arabic: كأس الخليج العربي‎‎) was the twentieth edition of the biannual Gulf Cup competition, and took place in Aden, Yemen, from 22 November to 5 December 2010.[1] The tournament was held in Yemen for the first time in the tournament's history, and this edition celebrated the 40th anniversary of the cup as well as the 20th anniversary of the tournament.

Competition mascot

The competition mascot (rather a secondary competition logo) depicts a Yemeni juggling a football in a traditional Yemeni wizaar while wearing headgear consisting of colors from the Yemeni flag.

The design has been featured in many advertising campaigns for the competition as well as many talk-shows, and has emerged as a well-known symbol for the competition, even more so than the primary competition logo.

The draw

  • The draw for the tournament was held on 22 August 2010.
  • Eight teams were divided into two groups, Yemen (The host nation) was in group A, Oman (The holder) in group B, while the rest of the teams were placed in a pot based on August 2010's FIFA rankings.
