The 2006 AFC Champions League final was a two-legged football tie to determine the 2006 champions of Asian club football. South Korean club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors defeated Syrian representative Al-Karamah 3–2 on aggregate to take the title. As of 2022, this was the only final of an AFC Champions League involving a Syrian club. The first leg took place on 1 November 2006 at 19:00 local time (UTC+9) at Jeonju World Cup Stadium in Jeonju, which Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors won 2–0. The second leg took place on 8 November 2006 at 20:00 local time (UTC+3) at Khaled bin Walid Stadium, Homs, which Al-Karamah took 2–1.
Format The rules for the final were exactly the same as for the previous knockout rounds. The tie was contested over two legs with away goals deciding the winner if the two teams were level on goals after the second leg. If the teams could still not be separated at that stage then extra time would have been played with a penalty shootout taking place if the teams were still level after that.
