The 2018–19 Arab Club Champions Cup, officially named the 2018–19 Zayed Champions Cup (Arabic: كأس زايد للأندية الأبطال 2018–19) to mark 100 years since the birth of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was the 28th season (not including 1990) of the Arab World's inter-club football tournament organised by UAFA, and the first season since it was renamed from the Arab Club Championship to the Arab Club Champions Cup.[1]

The final was played at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, between Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia and Étoile du Sahel of Tunisia. It was the fourth time Al-Hilal reached the final in their history, while it marked the first appearance of Étoile du Sahel in this stage. Étoile du Sahel defeated Al-Hilal 2–1 in the final and won the title for the first time in their history, becoming the third Tunisian team to win the competition in the last five editions.

Espérance de Tunis were the defending champions, having won the title in the previous edition. They were eliminated by Al-Ittihad Alexandria in the first round.

Prize money[]

The prize money was as follows:[2]

  • Winners: $6 million
  • Runners-up: $2.5 million

Teams[]

A total of 40 teams participated in the tournament; 20 from Asia and 20 from Africa. 10 clubs started in the qualifying play-off where two of them advanced to the first round which consisted of 32 teams. From then on, the tournament was played in a knockout format with home and away legs, until the final which was a one-leg match played in the United Arab Emirates. Due to the new format of the competition only being announced after the 2016–17 season had already ended, UAFA decided that for this edition of the tournament, teams would be invited to participate rather than strictly qualifying through performance in the 2016–17 season's domestic competitions.

Associations which did not enter a team
  • State of Palestine Palestine
  • Qatar Qatar
  • Yemen Yemen
Notes
  1. ^ a b Not including the club's appearance in the cancelled 1990 edition.
