The 2000 Friendship Tournament was the sixth edition of the 4 nation friendly tournament that took place in October 2001. The tournament was hosted by the United Arab Emirates Football Association. It was also a part of the LG Cup series, despite an edition of that tournament having already been held by Iran earlier that year.[1] Despite their being 4 teams invited, each nation only played twice. The United Arab Emirates finished as title holders, for the third time.[2]
