The 31st GCC Club Cup (Arabic: كأس الأندية الخليجية) was set to be the 31st edition of the GCC Club Cup for clubs of the Gulf Cooperation Council nations.[1]
On August 6, 2015, it was announced that the competition would be postponed until February 2016 due to the suspension of Kuwait from FIFA. Later in January 2016, it was announced that the competition would not take place at all due to a lack of sponsorship.[2]
