For the second consecutive year.. Saudi Arabia hosts the knockout stages of the Asian elite
Sources have revealed that the period from April 17 to April 25, 2026, has been officially set for the knockout stages of the AFC Champions League for the 2025-2026 sports season.
The decision came after the Asian Football Confederation adjusted the dates, as this phase was previously scheduled to take place from April 24 to May 2 of the same year.
This is the second consecutive edition in which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hosts the final stages of the major continental championship for Asian clubs.
The city of Jeddah hosted the knockout stages in the previous edition, which saw Al-Ahli Club crowned champions, supported by a fan base that contributed to achieving this success.
The final stages of the quarter-finals will commence in a centralized system held over a single period within the Kingdom, reflecting the Asian Federation's confidence in the readiness of Saudi stadiums.
