International football competition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1st GCC Club Championship (Arabic: بطولة الأنديـة الخليجية أبطال الدوري) was the first edition of the GCC Club Championship for clubs of the Gulf Cooperation Council nations. This edition of the competition featured five nations from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates withdrew without playing any matches, as many players were selected for the Asian youth championship.
The competition was played between December 1982 and February 1983 on a home and away league format. Al-Arabi of Kuwait were crowned the inaugural champions.
