 2024–25 Gulf Club Champions League | |
The GCC Club Cup (Arabic: كأس الأندية الخليجية), formerly known as the GCC Champions League (Arabic: دوري أبطال مجلس التعاون الخليجي), is a seasonal football competition which was first organised by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in 1982. The last edition organised by the GCC was the 30th edition in 2015, which featured twelve teams, while its attempts to organise the 31st edition failed.[1]
The tournament is set to be relaunched by the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation for the 2024–25 season under the name Gulf Club Champions League (Arabic: دوري أبطال الخليج للأندية), featuring one club from each of its eight member nations.[2][3]
