Emirati media protest against Saudi Arabia hosting the Champions League

According to Fars News Agency, today the Asian Football Confederation officially announced that it will host the group stage matches of the Asian Champions League in western Saudi Arabia.

Following this incident, the UAE sports site criticized the decision of the Asian Confederation and spoke about their duality.

“Last season, Al Wahda decided to host its group but they were told they could not be the hosts because they were playing in the play-offs and the AFC did not want to take that risk,” the UAE media wrote.

“How can Saudi Arabia host the entire AFC Champions League group today when there is not even a Saudi representative in one group?” Their power must be examined in Asia.

According to the Asian Football Confederation, Foolad will have to meet their opponents in Jeddah and Sepahan.

These competitions will be held from April 7 to 27 (April 18 to May 7).
