The draw for the group stage of the third edition of the Gulf Champions League pitted Al-Kazma Club in Group C, alongside Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ettifaq, UAE’s Ajman, and Iraq’s Erbil. The draw was held yesterday at the headquarters of the Gulf Football Union in the Qatari capital, Doha, via video conference, with 12 Gulf clubs participating, divided into three groups. The results of the draw, which kicks off on October 13 and concludes on April 30, 2027, yielded strong and exciting matchups for the participating teams.
Group A includes Saudi clubs Neom and Al-Shabab, Qatar’s Al-Duhail, and Yemen’s Shabab Hadhramaut. Group B comprises UAE’s Al-Nasr, Qatar’s Al-Gharafa, Iraq’s Al-Zawraa, and Bahrain’s Al-Riffa. Group C features Al-Kazma, known as “The Orange.”
The top two teams in each group advance directly to the quarter-finals, while only two third-placed teams from across the groups qualify, based on the highest point totals accumulated during the group stage. The group stage matches are played in a two-legged home-and-away league format.
