Latest update on AFC club competitions!

Following the earlier postponements on March 1 and 3, 2026, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) confirms that all remaining knockout matches of the AFC’s club competitions in the West Region will now be decided in single-leg ties at centralised venues.

Consequently, the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/26™ Round of 16 West Region battles will take place on April 13 and 14 at the King Abdullah Sports City and the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, just prior to the AFC Champions League Elite Finals Jeddah 2026™, which is scheduled to be held from April 16 to 25.

Additionally, to accommodate a condensed continental calendar, the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26™ and AFC Challenge League 2025/26™ single-leg Quarter-finals and Semi-finals will be held on April 19 and 22 with the centralised venues to be communicated in due course.
