Venue: Salam Stadium | Cairo

Algerian NA Hussein Dey & UAE Al Wahda will go face to face tonight at the opening of the revamped Arab Clubs Championship in Egypt.

The Arab Championship, which was formerly called the Arab Champions League, springs back to life following a four-year hiatus.

Cairo and Alexandria will host the Arab Championship from 22 July to 6 August.

The winners of each of the three groups will advance to the semis along with the best second-placed side.

The tournament was last held in 2013 when Algeria’s USM Alger clinched the title.

The lucrative financial rewards include a $2.5 million for the winner.

The Arab tournament was held over the course of the season from 2003-04 to 2008-09 and named the Arab Champions League as the Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) sought to emulate the prestigious European Champions League.
