On Tuesday evening, Rashid Stadium in Dubai will host the highly anticipated Asian Champions League match between Al Nassr and Esteghlal, kicking off at 8 PM local time.
Originally set for the Qods City Martyrs Stadium in Tehran, the match was moved following an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) request for Esteghlal to find an alternative venue due to regional unrest.
Al Nassr, featuring star player Cristiano Ronaldo, arrived in Dubai on Monday in high spirits, riding the momentum of a recent winning streak.
