In a decisive statement, the Asian Football Confederation categorically denied any plans to hold an Asian Super match between Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli and the UAE's Al-Sharjah.

The official denial came from the Secretary-General of the Confederation, Dato Seri Windsor John, who expressed his astonishment at the spread of rumors about this tournament without a clear source or official statement to support them.

Windsor John stated, "I do not know where this news came from; there is currently no Super Cup that brings together Saudi Al-Ahli and UAE Al-Sharjah under the umbrella of the Asian Confederation."

These rumors have sparked widespread controversy in the sports community, especially after Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, President of the Asian Confederation, made statements that were interpreted to suggest the possibility of the return of the Asian Super Cup in the upcoming period.

Nevertheless, the Secretary-General confirmed that the President's statements do not imply an actual decision to hold a match between the champions of the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup at this time.

It is noteworthy that Saudi Al-Ahli recently won the AFC Champions League title after a thrilling victory over Japan's Kawasaki, while UAE's Al-Sharjah claimed the AFC Cup title after defeating Singapore's Lion City.
