National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kazma or Al Salmiyah that keep their silverware dream alive.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
