Arabian Gulf Cup Union approves Gulf Champions League clubs
The Gulf Football Association has announced the list of clubs participating in the third edition of the Gulf Champions League for the 2026-2027 season, which will commence on October 13, 2026, and run until April 30, 2027. This edition will feature the highest number of teams ever, with 12 clubs competing, an increase from 8 to 12 teams to enhance competitiveness and expand the base of participation. This adjustment is based on the results of domestic leagues and the national associations' rankings within the Asian Football Confederation. The clubs were selected according to the competition's regulations, with the Saudi, UAE, Qatari, and Iraqi federations each earning two spots, while Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Yemen each secured one spot. The move aims to elevate the level of competition and improve team preparedness before the tournament begins, with the draw scheduled for August 24.
