Kuala Lumpur: The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) on Thursday confirmed the venues for the AFC Champions League Elite Finals 2024/25, which will see Asia’s top eight clubs battle for supremacy in a centralised format in single-leg ties from April 25 to May 3, 2025.

Following the decision to appoint the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) as the Host Association for the AFC Champions League Elite Finals for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons in December 2023, the King Abdullah Sports City and Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium in Jeddah have been selected to host the decisive battles of the most sought-after club prize in Asian football.

“Both stadiums – which will also host the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 – are poised to set the backdrop for two Quarter-final ties and one Semi-final encounter each. The eagerly anticipated final is set to be held at the King Abdullah Sports City, where the eventual winners will claim the biggest-ever prize purse in Asian club football history of USD 12 million,” AFC said in a statement.
