The first leg took place on 1 November 2006 at 19:00 [[Korea Standard Time|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 [[Eastern European Time|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 rule|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 (association football)|penalty shootout]] taking place if the teams were still level after that.
