The statement indicated that the association deals with all countries and cities hosting the Gulf Cup according to the same standards, and its consistent goal is to present the tournament in a manner that befits its history and stature, while highlighting the host country and city to reflect their capabilities and organizational status to fans in the region and beyond.

Regarding television broadcasting, the association emphasized its commitment to providing high-quality television production through YMG, a global company specialized in and experienced in sports television production and broadcasting.

The association also clarified that the technical coordination between the company and the organizing committee began well in advance of the tournament, and the committee was provided with all requirements and needs related to production and television broadcasting, including the number of cameras, their distribution locations, transmission vehicles, and technical equipment, through detailed independent reports for each stadium in the tournament.

The statement noted that these reports and requirements were ready well before the competitions began, allowing for review and discussion of any additional comments or needs during the preparation phase.

When the committee requested an increase in the number of cameras used for broadcasting matches at the start of the tournament, the association responded promptly, covering the additional costs resulting from this increase without imposing any extra financial burdens on the local organizing committee, in an effort to improve broadcast quality and provide the best possible experience for viewers.

The statement stressed that the association sought to expand the tournament's reach regionally and internationally, as broadcasting rights were provided to nine channels and platforms in the Arab region and the Gulf, in addition to six international broadcasting entities, which helped bring the tournament to markets and audiences outside the region, including Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and several Balkan countries.

The association concluded its statement by emphasizing the importance of accuracy when addressing information related to the technical, organizational, and financial aspects of the tournament, and returning to its official sources when needing any information or relevant details.

The association stated in a press release that the tournament has seen continuous cooperation and coordination between the Gulf Association and the organizing committee since the beginning of preparations, along with ongoing efforts from various committees within the association that have extensive experience in organizing major tournaments and implementing approved regulations and standards.

Regarding tickets, the association confirmed that the initial pricing structure was previously approved in consultation with the local organizing committee as part of the agreed arrangements for the tournament. When the organizing committee later requested a revision and reduction of prices, the Gulf Association responded quickly, and the new prices were approved, implementing reductions that meet the expectations of the tournament's fans and provide broader options for attending matches.
