AFC Champions League Elite 2025: The Battle in Jeddah
The exciting finale of the inaugural AFC Champions League Elite is set to take place in Jeddah, where eight heavy-hitting squads will clash for the title of Asia's top club.
Saudi Arabian clubs made quite the impression in the group stage, securing spots for Al Hilal, Al Ahli, and Al Nassr in the quarter-finals.
Although 2024 runners-up Yokohama F. Marinos from Japan lost just one match in the league phase, their domestic form has been lackluster, posing a challenge on the road to victory.
Qatar's Al Sadd is aiming for their first AFC Champions League win since 2011.
The quarter-finals, played in a condensed format, kick off on April 25, with the final taking place on May 3 in King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah.
