Saudi Arabia Confirmed to Host Asian Champions League Elite Finals The decision by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to have Saudi Arabia host the next three editions of the Asian Champions League Elite finals has significant implications for the sport in Asia.
This move marks a return to familiar territory for the tournament, which was previously held in Jeddah after its restructuring before the 2024/2025 season.
Since the restructuring, Saudi Arabia has hosted two consecutive finals, with Al Ahli emerging victorious both times. This pattern raises questions about the impartiality of the AFC's decision making process.
