  • Al-Hussein Irbid reached this stage after defeating Esteghlal Tehran in the round of 16, winning 1-0 at home and 3-2 away, continuing a historic run in their continental campaign.

The Asian Football Confederation has confirmed it will not move the second-leg match between Al-Hussein Irbid and Al-Ahli Qatar to Al-Hassan Stadium in Irbid, designating Amman International Stadium as the official venue for the AFC Champions League 2 quarterfinal.

The decision follows AFC regulations for knockout-stage hosting, settling organizational questions just days before the highly anticipated clash.

Match Schedule

The first leg will be played in Doha, Qatar, at 9:15 PM next Wednesday, with the return leg at Amman International Stadium at 9:15 PM on March 10.

Road to the Semi-Finals

The winner will face the victor of Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr vs. UAE’s Al-Wasl in the semi-finals scheduled for April, with the final set as a single match on May 16.
