The draw of the tournament was done on 12 August and Al Wasl played against Al-Merreikh on 16 August. The second match was against Al-Wihdat Amman on 19 August regardless the results of the first round as per the agreement of Al Wasl's coach Sérgio Farias and Al-Ahli's coach David O'Leary, their teams did not play against each other in the tournament due to having to play each other in the second round of the UAE Football League.
Al Wasl was crowned as the tournament's Champion after winning both its matches. Its player Mohammed Jamal was picked as the tournament's Most Valuable Player and the Goalkeeper Majed Nasser as the best goalkeeper with zero goals conceded.
