What the sources establish

The GFF is the organising body and result claimant. Its own report is the sole inspected match account; independent match sheets or reporting were not checked. This is the veterans’ competition, distinct from the senior Gulf Cup. No material contrary score account was established. The page gives November 4 without a publication hour; midnight represents that report date, not a kick-off or final whistle. The final remains a planned match. The rounded Doha marker represents the completed semi-finals and omits stadiums and future match times. Team affiliation does not establish any individual’s identity.
