2024–25 AGCFF Gulf Club Champions League

The AGCFF Gulf Club Champions League (Arabic: دوري أبطال الخليج للأندية), formerly known as the GCC Champions League (Arabic: دوري أبطال مجلس التعاون الخليجي), is a seasonal football competition governed by the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation (AGCFF) for clubs of its eight member nations.

The tournament was founded by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and was first organised in 1982. The last edition organised by the GCC was the 30th edition in 2015, which featured twelve teams, while its attempts to organise the 31st edition failed.[1]

The tournament was relaunched by the AGCFF for the 2024–25 season under the name AGCFF Gulf Club Champions League, featuring eight teams.[2][3]
