ADIB Cup gets underway this weekend with six first-leg ties scheduled across Saturday and Sunday, marking the start of a fresh campaign for clubs chasing silverware and a place on the winners' podium.

Al Dhafra face Al Wasl in ADIB Cup opener today

The action begins at 17:55 with two fixtures: Al Dhafra hosting Al Wasl at Hamdan Bin Zayed Stadium, and Al Nasr facing Al Bataeh at Al Maktoum Stadium on Saturday.

Al Dhafra return to the competition after a 989-day absence since their last appearance against Al Nasr in December 2022.

None of the five previous Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup meetings between Al Dhafra and Al Wasl ended in a draw, with Al Dhafra winning four and Al Wasl claiming one victory.

For Al Nasr and Al Bataeh, this will be their third meeting in the tournament.

The two sides exchanged wins during the 2022-23 edition of this round, with Al Nasr triumphing 2-0 at home before Al Bataeh responded with a 2-1 win at home.

The day concludes with Al Ain clashing against Kalba.
