The 2025 AFC Champions League Elite quarter-final draw has produced a number of exciting and entertaining matches, and a fiery road to the final.
The quarter-finals and semi-finals will be played as single matches on neutral ground (Saudi Arabia), with the final at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
For the first time, teams from the East and West will meet early in the quarter-finals, rather than waiting until the final.
Al Hilal, the most decorated team in the competition, will face South Korea’s Gwangju FC, with the winner of this match set to face the winner of Al Ahli and Buriram United in the semi-finals.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, faces a difficult task against Japan’s Yokohama F. Marinos, while Qatar’s Al Sadd will face Kawasaki Frontale.
Thus, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr could meet Al Hilal in what will undoubtedly be the “Final of the Century” in the AFC Champions League.
The quarter-final matches will be held from April 25 to 27, the semi-finals from April 29 to 30, and the final on Saturday, May 3, in Jeddah.
