^n/a A round-robin tournament determined the final standings.

^1 No third place match played.

• 1982 not held - This edition in Syria was canceled following the Israeli military intervention in Lebanon.
• 2000: The Al-Rayyan SC - Zamalek match was in fact a semi-final while a second semi-final opposed Al Ahly Jeddah to Al-Ahly Cairo but this last match experienced serious incidents and was interrupted. The organizers therefore treated the first semi-final as a final and did not award a bronze medal.
