Venue
The AFC decided that the final would be hosted by one of the finalists.[2] This format is a change from the 2009 and 2010 editions, where the final was played at a neutral venue.[3] On 7 June 2011, the draw for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final was made. For the final, the winner of semi-final 2 (played between the winners of quarter-finals 2 and 1) would be the home team, while the winner of semi-final 1 (played between the winners of quarter-finals 4 and 3) would be the away team.[4] Therefore Ulsan Hyundai FC will be the home team, and Al-Ahli will be the away team. The name of the stadium is Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium which is located in Ulsan, Republic of Korea which was also one of the main stadiums during 2002 FIFA World Cup.
