The 2025 Gulf Cup for Veteran Players was the first edition of the Gulf Cup for Veteran Players for the eight members of the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation. The tournament was held in Kuwait from 22–26 February 2025 for retired players that have participated in previous Arabian Gulf Cup tournaments. The tournament was originally set to start on 20 February, but the start date was postponed by two days. Each match was 40 minutes in length.

The tournament was won by Iraq, who defeated Oman 4–3 on penalties in the final after a 0–0 draw. The success of the inaugural tournament led to calls to continue holding the competition alongside future Arabian Gulf Cups.
