The Arab Club Champions Cup (Arabic: كأس العرب للأندية الأبطال, French: Ligue des Champions Arabe)[1] is an annual regional club football competition organised by the Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) and contested by elite clubs from the Arab world. The tournament is contested by a total of 38 teams – 19 from the Asian Football Confederation and 19 from the Confederation of African Football.
Founded in 1981, the tournament was held alongside the Arab Cup Winners' Cup and the Arab Super Cup throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, until the Cup Winners' Cup and Super Cup were merged with the Champions Cup in 2002. The tournament's first ever champions were Iraqi club Al-Shorta, who defeated Lebanese side Nejmeh in the final over two legs in 1982.[2]
Saudi Arabian clubs have accumulated the most victories, with eight wins. The title has been won by 19 clubs, eight of which have the title more than once. Since the tournament was merged with the Cup Winners' Cup, only ES Sétif of Algeria have managed consecutive wins, successfully defending their title in 2008. Defunct Iraqi club Al-Rasheed and Tunisian side Espérance de Tunis share the record for most titles, with three each. The reigning champions are Raja CA of Morocco, who won their second title in the 2019–20 season.

NB: three participants, invited sometime in 1980;
Al-Nejmeh (Beirut) could not host any matches due to the ongoing civil war in
Lebanon; that civil war also was the reason that the final (supposed to be
held over home and away legs in 1981) was postponed until early 1982, as the
UAFA had hoped the safety situation in Lebanon would improve; eventually it
was decided to have both matches played in Baghdad
Semifinal (both matches in Amman)
First Leg (May or Jun 17, 1981)
Al-Ahli (Amman) 1-2 Al-Nejmeh (Beirut)
