The draw for the Gulf Club Champions League, held yesterday at the headquarters of the Gulf Football Association, placed Kazma in Group 3, described as “balanced,” alongside Saudi club Al-Ittihad, UAE’s Ajman, and Iraq’s Erbil.
Group 1 features Saudi Arabia’s Neom, Qatar’s Al-Duhail, Oman’s Al-Shabab, and Yemen’s Hadhramaut. Group 2 includes UAE’s Al-Nasr, Qatar’s Al-Gharafa, Iraq’s Al-Zawraa, and Bahrain’s Riffa.
The “Orange” squad qualified for the Gulf tournament after finishing fourth in the previous season’s Zain Premier League. The group stage will be played in a two-legged home-and-away format, beginning on October 13.
According to the competition’s regulations, the 12 participating teams were divided into three groups of four, with the rule that no two clubs from the same country could be drawn into the same group.
The top two teams from each group, along with the two best third-placed teams across all three groups, will advance to the quarter-finals, which will also be contested on a home-and-away basis.
The “Orange” side hopes to achieve strong results in the Gulf tournament following its carefully planned recent signings.
