Sabah FK - Hapoel Beer Sheva

Sabah FK and Hapoel Beer Sheva arrive at this Champions League qualification final following contrasting paths through the summer rounds. Sabah FK demonstrated significant attacking intent in their previous qualifying stages, notably overcoming a first-leg deficit against AGF with a commanding four-goal victory at home. Meanwhile, Hapoel Beer Sheva navigated a challenging route to this stage, including a disciplined two-legged success against FK Crvena Zvezda that showcased their defensive resilience, despite a recent heavy defeat in the Toto Cup placement matches.

The two sides meet on 25 August 2026 at Tofiq Bakhramov Stadium to decide the outcome of their two-legged tie. Hapoel Beer Sheva hold a narrow advantage following their 2-1 victory in the first leg on 19 August 2026. As the contest shifts to neutral ground, Sabah FK will look to overturn the deficit and secure their place in the next phase of the competition.
