Four Asian Champions ‌League Elite ties that were postponed due to the conflict in the Middle East will be moved to Jeddah and played on a single-leg basis next month, the Asian Football Confederation said on Tuesday.

The ⁠last-16 encounters had originally been scheduled to be played in Qatar, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on a home-and-away basis in the first two weeks of March.

Defending champions Al-Ahli ⁠are due to take on ‌Al-Duhail from Qatar ‌while four-times winners Al-Hilal face Al-Sadd. Shabab Al-Ahli ‌from the UAE play Iran’s Tractor ‌FC and Al-Wahda meet Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad.

Those fixtures will now be held on April 13 and 14 as single-leg ties ‌ahead of the tournament’s finals stage.

Jeddah had already been slated to ⁠host ⁠the quarter-finals, semis and final on a centralized basis with matches running from April 16 to 25.

Last-16 matches on the Eastern side of the draw have already been concluded, with Japanese pair Vissel Kobe and Machida Zelvia joined in the quarter-finals by Thailand’s Buriram United and Johor Darul Ta’zim from Malaysia.

The draw for the quarter-finals will be conducted in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
