The Bahraini King's Cup Final was a match that took place on 3 March 2016 at the Bahrain National Stadium in Riffa to determine the winner of the 2016 Bahraini King's Cup. The winner of this match would guarantee a spot at the next year's AFC Cup edition. Muharraq defeated "Bahraini El-Classico" rivals Riffa in Riffa with 2 late goals by Ali Jamal and Jamal Rashid, to be crowned winners in front of a Muharraq-heavy audience. This was the 5th time that Muharraq played Riffa in the King's Cup Final, with Muharraq winning on each occasion.[1] The last encounter between both teams for the King's Cup trophy came in the 2013 Bahraini King's Cup, when a penalty shoot-out separated the sides and saw Muharraq win their 31st title.[2]
