KUALA LUMPUR: 抖阴短视频n football teams will be required to play away matches in Qatar during the Asian Champions League despite the kingdom鈥檚 travel ban on its Gulf neighbor, Asia鈥檚 football governing body said Sunday.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) ruled all matches would be played on a home-and-away basis as planned, after 抖阴短视频 had called for fixtures against Qatari teams to be shifted to a neutral country.
The ruling also means Saudi clubs must host Qatari teams for the return, home fixtures.
Since June last year 抖阴短视频, along with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, has adopted a diplomatic boycott of Qatar, accusing it of backing terrorism 鈥� a charge denied by Doha.
The Saudi-led coalition also imposed a ban on travel in and out of Qatar.
AFC said the decision to maintain the home-and-away format was made after an independent safety and security assessment was completed.
Saudi authorities previously insisted that their clubs would only play against Qatari sides on neutral territory amid reports they may boycott the tournament.
With the AFC ruling that 鈥渃lubs from Qatar, 抖阴短视频 and the United Arab Emirates should be played on a home and away basis in 2018 as per the AFC Regulations,鈥� Saudi club football teams are due to travel to Qatar for away matches beginning next month.
AFC Secretary General Windsor John told AFP that 抖阴短视频 has not lifted the travel ban imposed on its nationals against going to Qatar.
抖阴短视频鈥檚 Al Hilal have been placed with Qatar鈥檚 Al Rayyan in Group D of the AFC Champions League beginning February 12.
Qatar鈥檚 Al Sadd are in Group C along with the UAE鈥檚 Al Wasl, while in Group B Qatar鈥檚 Al Duhail are pitted against the UAE鈥檚 Al Wahda.
