Football tournament
The GCC Club Cup (Arabic : كأس الأندية الخليجية ), formerly known as the GCC Champions League (Arabic : دوري أبطال مجلس التعاون الخليجي ), was an annually organized football tournament for clubs of the six Gulf Cooperation Council nations. The tournament was first organized in 1982 as the GCC Club Championship and was last played in 2015, the 30th edition . Attempts to organize the 31st edition failed.
The tournament was organised by the Gulf Cooperation Council and was open to clubs from Bahrain , Kuwait , Oman , Qatar , Saudi Arabia , and the United Arab Emirates .
Although having much popularity in its initial decades, the tournament faced decline as the AFC Champions League and AFC Cup rendered many Gulf clubs unable to participate in the competition.
