The Arab Club Champions Cup is a seasonal association football competition established in 1981 for top clubs of the 22 Union of Arab Football Associations member associations.[1]
A total of 20 clubs have won the Arab Club Champions Cup. The first ever winners of the tournament were Iraqi club Al-Shorta.[2] Iraqi club Al-Rasheed and Tunisian club Espérance de Tunis share the record for most titles, with three each. Al-Rasheed are the only team to have won three consecutive titles. Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad have been runners-up the most times, each losing three finals. Syrian club Al-Jaish and Jordanian club Al-Faisaly are the only teams to have reached two finals without winning the trophy. Saudi Arabia has provided the most champions, with nine wins from six clubs.[3] The current champions are Al-Nassr, who beat Al-Hilal 2–1 after extra time in the 2023 final.[4]
