# 2020 Arab Club Champions Cup final

The 2020 Arab Club Champions Cup Final was the final match of the 2019–20 Arab Club Champions Cup, the 29th season of the Arab League's main club football tournament organised by UAFA, and the 2nd season since it was renamed from the Arab Club Championship to the Arab Club Champions Cup. It was played at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. The match was originally scheduled to be played in 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused postponements during the semi-final stage of the competition. Moroccan club Raja CA beat Saudi side Al-Ittihad Jeddah 4–3 on penalties after a 4–4 draw to earn their second Arab Club Champions Cup title.
