Azerbaijan's Sabah Drawn Against Barcelona and Arsenal in Champions League Group Stage
Sabah, the Azerbaijani football club that eliminated Israel's Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Champions League playoff round with a 5-2 aggregate victory, has been drawn into the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. The draw, held on August 27, 2026, placed Sabah in a challenging group featuring European giants Barcelona and Arsenal. Both Sabah and Hapoel Be'er Sheva come from countries with no other representatives in the group stage, meaning the draw restrictions applied equally to both teams. The full draw is still ongoing, with further group stage placements to be announced soon.
