The AFC confirmed the postponement on Sunday, just a day before the fixture was due to kick off at the Saudi club's home ground. The decision affects both teams' schedules in the elite tier of Asia's premier club competition.
Al Nassr, one of the Saudi Pro League's most prominent sides, was preparing to host Al Wasl in what would have been a significant regional matchup. The postponement comes amid the intense fixture congestion facing clubs competing in the AFC Champions League Elite alongside their domestic commitments.
The AFC did not immediately provide details regarding the reason for the delay or indicate when the match would be rescheduled. Teams in the competition have faced scheduling challenges as they balance participation in the revamped Champions League format with their domestic league obligations.
Both clubs will now await further notification from the confederation regarding the revised fixture date. The postponement marks another adjustment to the AFC Champions League Elite calendar, which commenced this season with a new structure designed to enhance competition among Asia's elite clubs.
