Al-Ahli Approaches an Achievement Not Reached in 20 Years
Al Ahly enters the final match against Machida Zelvia with the ambition of winning the AFC Champions League for the elite. The anticipated match will take place on Saturday evening at the Inma Stadium amidst expected enthusiastic crowds.
Al Ahly is looking to continue the dominance of West Asian clubs for the third consecutive season, and this achievement is rare, as it hasn't been accomplished in over two decades.
In the event of winning, West Asia will affirm its strong return to the continental forefront after years of decline. Historically, East Asian clubs have the upper hand in the number of continental titles.
The teams from the East have won 14 titles out of 22 editions of the tournament, while the clubs from the West have only 8 titles, including 5 Saudi titles.
The Saudi championships have been distributed among Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli, and the opportunity remains for Al-Ahli to write a new chapter in the history of Asian football.
