Currently taking place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Khaleeji Arabian Dyar 27 brings together the men’s national football teams of Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen for one of the region’s most prestigious international football tournaments.
As the official ticketing partner, Ticketmaster will deliver a connected ticketing and venue access experience across the tournament, managing global ticket sales, digital ticket delivery and entry at King Abdullah Sports City and Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium.
The official Khaleeji Arabian Dyar 27 app, powered by Ticketmaster’s white-label platform, will give fans a seamless digital experience to purchase, access, manage and transfer tickets. With integration for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, fans can also keep their tickets securely on their mobile devices for convenient access throughout the tournament.
The partnership will also mark the first introduction of Ticketmaster’s SafeTix technology in the GCC. SafeTix uses a unique barcode that refreshes regularly, helping protect tickets from fraud and providing greater security for both fans and organisers.
Jassim Sultan Al Rumaihi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Football Federation (GFF), said: “Hosting Khaleeji Arabian Dyar 27 in Jeddah for the first time is a landmark moment for the tournament and for Saudi football. We want supporters from across the Gulf to feel part of the occasion from the moment they plan their trip to the moment they take their seats. With Ticketmaster, we are creating a secure, straightforward ticketing journey that matches the scale and ambition of this historic edition.”
Dimitrios Petropoulos, Senior Director of Business Development, Ticketmaster Sport, said: “Football’s biggest moments are made in the stands, and Khaleeji Arabian Dyar 27 will bring an extraordinary level of energy to Jeddah. We’re excited to power the official app, ticketing and venue entry with one connected experience that puts fans first – making it easy to secure a ticket, stay close to the tournament and get through the gates ready to enjoy the match.”
