Preview: Al Wasl Vs Al-Ahli Saudi
Dubai: Al Wasl Club will be hoping for more of the same when they host Al Ahli Saudi FC in their AFC Champions League Elite™ 2024/25 tie on Monday:
The League Stage showdown at the Zabeel Stadium promises to be a thriller with both teams having kicked off their campaigns with victories.
Al Wasl ended a near two-decade wait to emerge domestic champions last season but their defence of the title has got off to a rocky start.
A 4-2 defeat to Al Ain FC in their most recent fixture sees them five points off the pace after four matches and they will be desperate to carry the form they showed in the 1-0 win against Pakhtakor FC two weeks ago into the tie against Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli.

About AFC Champions League Elite:
History
The AFC Champions League Elite (abbreviated as the ACL Elite) is an annual continental club football competition organised by the Asian Football Confederation, and contested by Asia's top-division football clubs. It is the most prestigious club competition in Asian football, played by the national league champions (and, for some nations, one or more runners-up) of their national associations.
Introduced in 1967 as the Asian Champion Club Tournament, the competition rebranded as AFC Champions League in 2002 following the merger of the Asian Club Championship, the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and the Asian Super Cup. It was rebranded again in 2024 to its current name.
A total of 24 clubs compete in the league stage of the competition, divided into East and West regions (12 teams each). The winner of the AFC Champions League Elite qualifies for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, and also for the next edition of the AFC Champions League Elite league stage if they have not already qualified through their domestic performance.
The most successful club in the competition is Al-Hilal with a total of four titles. Al Ain are the current champions, having beaten Yokohama F. Marinos in the 2024 final.
