Doha, Qatar: Despite a losing start to their domestic campaign, Al Ahli are setting their sights on making a mark on the Asian stage, aiming to replicate last season’s impressive run as they prepare for their debut in the AFC Champions League Two (ACL Two) which kicks off on September 16.
Under the guidance of Igor Biscan, Al Ahli will compete in the second-tier continental competition, which features 32 teams - 16 each from the East and West Regions - divided into eight groups.
While Al Sadd, Al Duhail and Al Gharafa will represent Qatar in the top-tier AFC Champions League Elite, Al Ahli are Qatar’s representatives in ACL Two.
They have been drawn into Group B alongside Uzbekistan’s FC Andijon, Turkmenistan’s FK Arkadag and Bahrain’s Al Khaldiya SC.
German star Julian Draxler, who played a key role in Al Ahli’s fourth-place finish in the Qatar Stars League (QSL) last season, said the team is motivated and focused on a strong debut in the Asian competition.
