Arab Cup 2025: who are the former champions?

Arab Cup: here are the most decorated nations!

Just two days before the official kick-off of the 2025 Arab Cup play-in, the competition is ready to open a new chapter in its storied history. Before group stage action gets underway on December 3, it's worth revisiting the tournament's rich tradition—one marked by several nations already crowned and eager to defend their legacy.

Iraq remains the gold standard, boasting four titles (1964, 1966, 1985, 1988)—a record unmatched since the tournament’s inception. Trailing behind, Saudi Arabia has secured two championships, lifting the trophy in 1998 and 2002.

Next come the African giants, each with one triumph: Tunisia in 1963, Egypt in 1992, Morocco in 2012, and Algeria, the most recent champion in 2021. This hierarchy sets the stage for edge-of-your-seat drama in this tenth edition.
