Cooperation Starts Third Asian Entry Before Renaissance
Al-Ittifaq Saudi team is preparing for its third participation in the Asian Championship, where it will open its matches against Al-Nahda Omani in the first round of the 2026 AFC Champions League in Muscat. Al-Ittifaq previously participated in 2017 but was eliminated in the group stage, then returned in 2024-2025 and reached the semi-finals before losing to Emirates' Sharjah with a score of 1-2. In this edition, Al-Ittifaq faces a group including Qatar's Al-Rayyan, Jordan's Al-Faisaly, and Al-Nahda. There have been administrative changes, including appointing Syrian Jihad Hussein to lead the team after the previous coach, Zlatko Dalić. Al-Ittifaq aims to perform well and achieve positive results in its third Asian club-level participation.
