Asian Club Championship Flashback: Al Hilal v Jubilo Iwata (1999-2000)

Kuala Lumpur: As Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal take on Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds in the final showpiece for the 2017 AFC Champions League title, we look back at the last time teams from Saudi and Japan faced in the final.

The 1999/2000 Asian Club Championship final brought Al Hilal against Jubilo Iwata. The Saudis always seemed to relish facing Japanese opponents; three out of their six AFC trophies came against Japanese sides.

Nagoya Grampus Eight, Shimizu S-Pulse and Jubilo Iwata all lost finals to Al Hilal at the turn of the century.
