Crisis threatens the AFC Champions League Elite match between Al Nassr and Al Wasl

The crisis arose after travel difficulties prevented Al Wasl's delegation from arriving in the capital Al Riyadh on time, raising doubts about the UAE team's ability to participate in the match as scheduled.

Al Wasl's delegation was set to arrive in Al Riyadh on Saturday, in preparation for the match and to conduct their final training session at the venue. However, travel difficulties have thrown preparations into disarray and cast a shadow over the match schedule.

The Asian Football Confederation is working to evaluate the current situation, exploring available alternatives in coordination with the two clubs involved, before finalizing the decision on whether to hold the match as scheduled or take other measures.

The refereeing team arrived in Al Riyadh on Saturday as preparations for the match remain linked to the latest developments.

The match between Al Nassr and Al Wasl may be postponed as the AFC is reviewing developments regarding the fixture scheduled for the third round of the AFC Champions League Elite.
