The Emirati side finished second in the 2017 Arabian Gulf League to reach the ACL this season.

They made their first appearance in the tournament back in 2008, but were eliminated in the group stage.

"We know the importance of playing in such a big tournament. We are excited that we have some experienced players and I think we'll have a good game. We are well prepared," said an upbeat Caio Correa, the Al Wasl midfielder.
