Saudi Arabia confirmed as host for next three Asian Champions League Elite finals

Saudi Arabia will host the Asian Champions League Elite final for the next three seasons, extending its role after staging the last two editions of the competition. The Asian Football Confederation announced the decision on Monday, confirming that the Kingdom’s venues will be used for the 2025‑26, 2026‑27 and 2027‑28 finals, following successful events in Riyadh and Jeddah in 2023 and 2024.

The multi‑year agreement underscores Saudi Arabia’s growing involvement in Asian football and provides the AFC with a stable location for the tournament’s marquee match. Organizers cited the country’s infrastructure, logistical capabilities and fan engagement as key factors in the selection. The confirmed hosting schedule ensures continuity for the Elite format, which features the continent’s top club sides in a knockout showdown to determine the champion.
