The Jassim bin Hamad Stadium will open its doors to Al Rayyan’s match against Al Hilal in matchday 4 of the AFC Champions League on the 12th of March 2018.
The Blue Wave are struggling, sitting last in the group after draws with Al Ain and Al Rayyan in addition to their loss to Esteghlal. Moreover, their recent loss to Al Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League will leave them in a tough position ahead of their important match against Al Rayyan.
