The Asian Champions League semi-final first leg between Al Ain and Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal has been postponed due to the weather, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said on Tuesday.

The match was set to be played on Tuesday evening in Al Ain but will now be played on Wednesday, April 17 after the country experienced heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

UAE authorities had urged residents to stay at home due to the weather conditions.

"The UAE Football Association has suspended all football activities for Tuesday, keeping in view the safety of all fans, players and stakeholders," AFC said in a statement.

The match has been rescheduled for Wednesday at 8:00 p.m.
