The Qatari newspaper Al-Raya reported that the Afro-Asian Cup competition between the champions of the African Champions League and the AFC Champions League will return to life again after many years of being suspended.
Historically, this competition was played from 1986 to 1998, before it was stopped due to the decision of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) to establish the Club World Cup competition.
According to the latest report, Al-Ahly of Egypt, as champion of the African Champions League, will face Al-Ain of the Emirates, champion of the AFC Champions League, with the match being held at the Lusail World Cup Stadium in Qatar in January 2025.
Great preparations have been made for this match, as the winner will receive $3 million, according to a report by Al-Raya newspaper.
It is noteworthy that Egyptian Zamalek is the club that has won the most Afro-Asian Cup titles, having achieved the title 3 previous times, while Al-Ahly has achieved the title only once.
