Al Wahda vs Al Khaldiya SC: AFC Champions League Two 2026 in Abu Dhabi

Al Wahda vs Al Khaldiya SC brings AFC Champions League Two football to Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday 4 November 2026. Al Wahda FC of the UAE host Al-Khaldiya SC of Bahrain, with gates opening at 6pm and kick-off at 8pm. It is a midweek chance to watch continental club football in the capital, with dedicated sections for home and away supporters.

The fixture

The AFC Champions League Two brings together clubs from across Asia, so a home tie like this one puts a UAE side up against opposition from elsewhere in the region. Here it is a Gulf meeting: Al Wahda, the home side on the night, against Al-Khaldiya SC from Bahrain. The ticketing page does not state the stage or group of the competition, so check the AFC’s own fixture list if you want the wider context.

For Al Wahda supporters, it is a home fixture with continental stakes on a Wednesday night. For Bahraini fans living in the UAE, there is a dedicated away section so you can back Al-Khaldiya together.

Where to sit

Tickets are sold exclusively through Platinumlist, and the stadium is split into clear categories:

• General Admission (Zone B): entrance only. Sections S11 to S15 are for home fans, and S18 is the away section.
• Premium (Zone A): entrance only, with a Premium Right option also listed.
• VIP: includes hospitality and catering.
• Diamond Lounge: hospitality and catering, but listed as not for sale to the public.

If you are a neutral who wants to soak up the atmosphere, the home sections are the natural choice. If you are supporting the visitors, book S18. Should you end up in the wrong section, seat change requests go through an approval and verification process with the ticket seller.

POD card holders

If you hold a valid POD card, you do not need a separate ticket to enter the venue, which is worth knowing if you or someone in your group has one.

Children and families

The child policy is simple. Every adult needs a valid ticket. Children under two do not need their own ticket but must sit on an adult’s lap, and only one child per adult is allowed. Food and drink are on sale inside the stadium, so families heading straight from school or work do not need to eat beforehand.

Stadium rules

The prohibited list is specific, and confiscated items are not returned, so pack light:

• weapons, explosives and sharp objects
• fireworks and laser pointers
• alcohol or drugs
• animals
• balls of any kind
• racist or xenophobic material, including T-shirts or flags

Audio and video recording is permitted for private use only. Refunds are handled case by case: you present your reason to Platinumlist customer support, and the request then goes through an approval stage.

Getting to Al Nahyan Stadium

Al Nahyan Stadium sits in the Al Nahyan area of Abu Dhabi, off the E19. By bus, routes 23, 24, 41, 42 and 45 stop at Shk. Rashid Bin Saeed St / Al Wahda Mall, about a 15 minute walk from the stadium. If you are driving, the listing gives directions from the Service Road and Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street, and strongly recommends GPS navigation. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are an easy alternative, particularly after an 8pm kick-off.

Who it suits

Al Wahda regulars will already have this in the diary. It also suits Bahraini supporters based in the UAE, football fans who want to see continental club competition in person, and families looking for a live sporting evening with a straightforward child policy. With gates at 6pm and kick-off at 8pm, there is time to get across the city after work and settle in before the teams come out.
