Al-Ittihad aims to emulate Al-Hilal’s performance from the previous season, when they became the first Saudi club to reach the final.

Real Madrid, the most successful team in the competition with five titles, defeated them in the decisive game.

There are currently no former holders of this year’s edition.

The only past winners still eligible to compete for the last spot are Internacional of Brazil.
