Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium hosts Tuesday the final match of the 59th Football Cup of His Highness the Amir, as Al-Qadsia SC faces counterpart Kuwait SC in the 2020-2021 season.
The match, to be held under sponsorship of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, will kick off at 06:45 p.m. with a pre-match special ceremony.
Al-Qadsia SC aims to claim the championship title for the 17th time, and becoming the team with most wins, especially as it is currently tied with Al-Arabi with 16 titles. Al-Qadsia and Al-Arabi are followed by Kuwait SC with 14 wins, and it aspires to reduce the difference by winning the title this upcoming match. The two teams faced off during the finals of His Highness the Amir Football Cup eight times before, and each won four times, making it hard to predict who will win the final match.
This will be the first match which will not feature extra time in case of a tie and the two teams would hold penalty shoot-out after the original time.
His Highness the Amir Football Cup first kicked off in 1961-1962. Al-Qadsia and Al-Arabi won their titles 16 times ever since, Kuwait SC 14 times, Al-Kazma SC seven times, Al-Salmiya SC and Al-Yarmouk SC won the title twice, while Al-Fahaheel won one time.
