J-League first-division side Urawa Reds will contest the two-leg Asian Champions League final against current holders Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, who advanced from the tournament's West Region with a 7-0 dismantling of Qatar's Al-Duhail on Sunday.
The first leg of the final will be played on April 29 at Riyadh's King Fahd International Stadium, with the return leg scheduled for May 6 at Saitama Stadium.
Former Watford and Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo bagged four goals for four-time Asian champions Al-Hilal in the West Region semifinal at Qatar's Al Thumama Stadium.
The upcoming final will be a rematch of 2019, when Al-Hilal claimed the title with a 3-0 aggregate win against Reds.
Urawa, ACL winners in 2007 and 2017, advanced from the East Region with a penalty shootout victory over South Korea's Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in their semifinal last August.
Al-Hilal's semifinal win has ensured Urawa a place at December's Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia. With the host nation already guaranteed a berth, the Asian champions' slot will be designated to the ACL runners-up in the case of a Saudi Arabian club winning the title.
