Al Wasl FC is scheduled to host Air Force SC on Monday, November 2, 2026, in Matchday 4 of the AFC Champions League Elite league stage. Kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m. Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4) at Zabeel Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. That is 4:00 p.m. UTC and 9:30 p.m. India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30), the time shown on FanCode’s India listing. This is a pre-match guide updated November 1; the match has not started, so there is no result to report.
| Detail | Confirmed information |
|---|---|
| Competition | 2026–27 AFC Champions League Elite |
| Stage | West Zone league stage, Matchday 4 |
| Date | Monday, November 2, 2026 |
| Kickoff in Dubai | 8:00 p.m. GST (UTC+4) |
| UTC equivalent | 4:00 p.m. UTC on November 2 |
| Venue | Zabeel Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates |
| FanCode listing | 9:30 p.m. IST (UTC+5:30), Match 51 |
The AFC’s official league-stage schedule lists Al Wasl FC vs Air Force SC at 20:00 on Monday, November 2, and assigns Zabeel Stadium in Dubai as the venue. Al Wasl’s official club listing and the FanCode Match 51 page also show the fixture and Dubai stadium.
Dubai follows Gulf Standard Time at UTC+4. The UAE does not observe daylight saving time, so 4:00 p.m. UTC converts to 8:00 p.m. in Dubai on the same date. The UAE government time guide confirms the UTC+4 offset and no daylight-saving change. FanCode lists the same kickoff as 9:30 p.m. IST, which is UTC+5:30. Viewers should use the local date as well as the time when checking a listing in another time zone.
This is a league-stage fixture, not a knockout tie. The points matter to both sides, but one result will not decide the entire campaign. The AFC’s November 1 preview says Al Wasl remained at the bottom of the West Zone after sitting out Matchday 3, while Air Force SC revived its campaign with a win in the previous round.
| Team | Results before this fixture | Matchday 4 question |
|---|---|---|
| Al Wasl FC | Lost 1–2 to Al Qadsiah in Matchday 1 and 1–3 to Al Ahli Saudi FC in Matchday 2; had a bye on Matchday 3. See the AFC’s Matchday 1 report and Matchday 2 report. | Can Al Wasl turn a home fixture into its first league-stage points? |
| Air Force SC | Lost 0–1 to PFC Neftchi and 1–4 to Al Ain, then beat Pakhtakor 1–0 in Matchday 3. Saad Abdul Ameer scored the winner, according to the AFC’s Matchday 1 report, Matchday 2 report, and Matchday 3 report. | Can the Iraqi side build on its first win of the league stage? |
The scorelines provide context, not a prediction. Al Wasl scored once in each of its opening two matches, while Air Force’s 1–0 victory followed two defeats. Those results make chance creation, defensive control, and the ability to protect a lead reasonable things to watch. They do not establish how either side will line up or perform in Dubai.
In a pre-match press conference published by Al Wasl on November 1, head coach Rui Vitoria said the team was ready and was targeting all three points. Al Wasl player Cameron Puertas also described the match as difficult and said the team was ready. These are the club’s public readiness statements; they are not a confirmed starting lineup or a full medical report. The club’s press-conference report does not name injury or suspension absences.
The latest AFC preview and the Al Wasl presser reviewed for this update do not publish confirmed starting elevens or a complete injury-and-suspension list for both clubs. That means availability beyond the statements above remains unconfirmed; it should not be read as proof that every player is fit. Check the clubs’ official channels and the AFC match page for the team sheets when they are released. Al Wasl’s official coordination-meeting report separately confirms the approved kits: Al Wasl will wear all yellow and Air Force SC will wear blue.
There is no final score yet because kickoff is scheduled for November 2. Add a result only after the match has ended and the AFC or a club has confirmed it.
| Option | Who it suits | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Attend at Zabeel Stadium | Supporters in Dubai who want to watch in person. | Confirm ticket availability, entry instructions, and transport through Al Wasl’s official fixture page and the club’s current channels. The confirmed schedule gives the venue and kickoff, but it does not establish ticket prices or gate-opening times. |
| Stream in India on FanCode | Viewers in India looking for a live stream. | FanCode’s Match 51 listing shows November 2 at 9:30 p.m. IST and Zabeel Stadium. The AFC has named FanCode its media partner for India for the 2025–2028 cycle. Confirm current access or pass requirements in the app or on the site. |
| Watch from another country | Viewers outside India and Dubai. | Check the broadcaster or streaming service licensed in your country. The FanCode listing and AFC partnership confirm the India option; they do not establish worldwide streaming rights. |
| Follow updates and the result | Readers who need official information without watching the full match. | Use the AFC competition hub and the two clubs’ official channels for match updates and a confirmed final score. |
For a quick choice, attend if you are near the stadium and want the live atmosphere, use FanCode if you are in India and want its listed stream, or verify local rights elsewhere instead of assuming that an India-based service works in every territory. If you only need the score, check the AFC’s official match coverage after kickoff. Ticket details, entry arrangements, starting elevens, and any late player-availability changes should be confirmed through the relevant official channel rather than inferred from the fixture listing.
For Al Wasl, the clearest measure is whether the home side can turn its first two defeats into a more controlled performance and claim its first points. For Air Force SC, the question is whether it can carry the confidence from its 1–0 win into another away match. Watch how each team creates chances, handles defensive transitions, and responds if it falls behind or takes the lead; those are match observations, not guaranteed outcomes.
The fixture is scheduled for Monday, November 2, at Zabeel Stadium, with kickoff at 8:00 p.m. GST (UTC+4). The FanCode listing gives 9:30 p.m. IST (UTC+5:30) for viewers in India. As of the November 1 update, the confirmed new team news is Al Wasl’s public statement of readiness; starting elevens, a complete injury or suspension list, and the result remain unavailable in the official sources reviewed.
