The Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation (AGCFF) (Arabic: إتحاد كأس الخليج العربي لكرة القدم) is a regional association football body for the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, including Yemen. It was established in May 2016, and its main competition is the Arabian Gulf Cup.
Several preparatory meetings were held in 2015 using the working title Gulf Football Federation. The federation then was founded in 2016 as Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation to reflect the region's oldest competition: the Arabian Gulf Cup. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani of Qatar was named as the first president.
The AGCFF plans to run several competitions which covers national and club competitions. The Arabian Gulf Cup will be held every odd year starting in 2017, and a club competition will be held every even year starting in 2020. Also the possibility of a Women's Gulf Cup has been discussed.
