Tickets for UAE President's Cup Round of 16 Now Available

The UAE Football Association announced that tickets for the President's Cup Round of 16 matches are still available for online booking. The knockout stage runs from Friday through Sunday, with eight matches that will determine which teams advance to the quarterfinals.

The tournament kicks off Friday with two matches: Sharjah faces United, while Al Wahda takes on Al Dhafra. Saturday brings three games to the pitch - Al Bataeh meets Shabab Al Ahli, Khor Fakkan plays Kalba, and Al Nasr goes up against Bani Yas.

Sunday wraps up the round with the final three matchups. Al Hamriyeh faces Al Ain, Dibba takes on Al Wasl, and Al Jazira meets Ajman.

The format is straightforward knockout football - lose once and you're out. Winners move directly to the quarterfinals, making every match crucial for the remaining clubs.

Fans can still grab tickets through the official website. The three-day tournament structure means supporters can catch multiple games over the weekend, with matches spread across the Emirates.

This stage typically produces some of the tournament's most intense football, as smaller clubs try to upset established teams while traditional powers look to assert their dominance. The single-elimination format adds extra pressure, since there's no second chance for teams that have an off day.
