The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has decided to adjust the kick-off time of the match between Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad and UAE's Al-Jazira, scheduled as part of the AFC Champions League Elite playoffs, according to an update published on the confederation's official website.

Under the new adjustment, the match will kick off on Tuesday, August 11, at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi at 8:00 PM Mecca time, instead of 7:00 PM as per the previous schedule.

The adjustment only applies to the match kick-off time, which has been delayed by one hour, with no changes to the match date or the host stadium.

The encounter is of great importance, as the two teams compete for a spot in the group stage of the AFC Champions League Elite, at the start of their continental journey in the new season.
