According to Saudi media reports, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has decided to postpone the AFC Champions League Elite West Zone Round of 16 matches due to the current tense security situation.
The AFC is coordinating with all member associations and will seek an appropriate date to reschedule the fixtures depending on how the situation develops.
Sources have indicated that if a suitable date cannot be found, the tournament will switch to a centralized format in April, with the knockout stage starting from the Round of 16 instead of the originally planned quarter-finals.
AFC Champions League Elite West Zone Round of 16 fixtures:
Al Sadd (Qatar) vs Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia)
Al Duhail (Qatar) vs Al Ahli (Saudi Arabia)
Shabab Al Ahli (UAE) vs Tractor Sazi Tabriz (Iran)
Al Wahda (UAE) vs Al Ittihad (Saudi Arabia)
