The chances of Arab clubs in the AFC Champions League quarter -finals sports

The Saudi victory, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, fell in a difficult confrontation against Japan’s Yokohama F, next month in the AFC Champions League quarter -finals, while Al Hilal will face its local rival in the Saudi League, the South Korean team, the Guanggo team.

The final rounds of the championship are witnessing seven games held in the gathering system in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, during the period from April 25 to May 3.

The semi -final matches will be held on April 29 and 30, with the final match to be held at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah on May 3, and the title winner receives a financial prize of $ 12 million.

Victory is looking to make history

After leaving the quarter -finals last season at the hands of Al Ain, the Emirati, Al -Nasr is counting on his veteran scorer Cristiano Ronaldo (40 years old), the best player in the world five times who has not yet achieved any local or continental title with the team he joined at the end of the year 2022.

Al -Nasr is looking for the coronation of its first title in the AFC Champions League for the elite, but before that he must overcome the obstacle of Yokohama -the team coached by Steve Holland, the former assistant for Gareth Southgate in the English national team.

Yokohama arrived in the AFC Champions League final twice in 1990 and 2024, where he lost in the final against Al Ain Emirati. As for the Al -Nasr team led by Ronaldo, it did not reach the AFC Champions League final only once, and that was in 1995 when it lost to the South Korean god Chunma.

It is the best achievement for victory in the championship, his arrival in the semi -finals in 2020 and 2021, but it enters this version with a collection with global stars, which enhances his confidence in achieving the upcoming title.

Al Hilal to continue to shine in its beloved championship

After overcoming Bakhtakor, the Uzbekistan in the round of 16 (0-1 and 4-0), Al-Hilal will try to continue his career in his beloved championship, as he is preparing to appear in the quarter-finals for the fourth time in a row.

Al -Hilal, who is very fighting at the top of the Saudi League this season, won the highest teams in the final rounds of four titles in the competition in 1991, 2000, 2019 and 2021 and a summer and summer five times.

The “leader” aspires to compensate for the disappointment of his disappointment from the semi -finals last season, and to restore the continental title, as he seeks to achieve his third title in six years.

Gangjo is the first team to qualify for the quarter -finals in its first appearance in the championship since Vesel Kobe did in 2020, and Jacir’s brilliance gives him a great opportunity to compete.

Al -Ahly to move forward in the tournament

The Saudi Al -Ahly entered the lot as one of the most prominent teams, after he booked his seat in the quarter -finals without losing (9 wins and a single tie).

Al -Ahly’s next appearance will be in his first quarter -finals since 2020, when he made amazing performance at the continental level this season, especially in light of the challenges he faces in the Saudi Professional League, where he is fifth.

Al -Ahly appears to be determined to crown the title, and he must beat the Thai Boeram in only his second participation in the quarter -finals, as he aspires to prolong his journey in Jeddah during the final rounds.

The Thai team included its seat after eliminating its opponent in the ASEAN Johour, the Malaysian glorification house, and hopes to test itself in front of the elite clubs of the continent.

An easy task for the Qatari dam

The Qatari Al -Sadd is the only team alongside Al -Hilal formerly crowned with the AFC Champions League title from among the qualified teams to the quarter -finals, as it returns to this round for the first time since 2019.

The dam qualified to the round of 16 easily, before showing his strong personality in the heart of the table on the Emirati link, which makes it a difficult opponent of Cawlasaki Frontal, who despite his prominent position in Asian football, but the maximum he achieved in the tournament is to reach the quarter -finals 2007, 2009 and 2017.

After leaving the round of 16 last season at the hands of the Chinese Chandong Tayshan, the Japanese team returned to present distinguished levels this season, making him a candidate to end his long waiting for the title.

The next competitor:
Japanese Kawasaki
