Abu Dhabi's Four Football Clubs Share World-Class Stadiums and Facilities
Al Nahyan Stadium and other facilities host matches for Al Wahda FC, FC Baniyas, Al Jazira FC and the Wildcats in their respective leagues.
How we reported this

Al Wahda FC recorded a 1-0 victory against Dibba FC during Round 14 of the UAE Pro League at Al Nahyan Stadium.
Al Nahyan Stadium Role
Al Nahyan Stadium serves as the home ground for Al Wahda FC in the UAE Pro League. The venue provides the setting for the club’s league fixtures and forms part of the established infrastructure that supports professional football in Abu Dhabi. Matches at the stadium allow the team to compete within the domestic competition structure.
Additional Abu Dhabi Clubs
FC Baniyas, another Abu Dhabi-based side, achieved a 2-0 result over Al Nasr that lifted the club to 11 points in the UAE Pro League standings. Al Jazira FC, also based in the city, sits on 22 points after a 1-1 draw with Al Bataeh and continues to pursue positions in the upper half of the table. These results illustrate how local clubs rely on the same league framework and available venues to maintain their campaigns.
American Football Setup
The Wildcats represent Abu Dhabi in the inaugural Emirates Football League. The team’s season is scheduled to open in November, adding an American football component to the city’s existing sports facilities. This league entry expands the range of organised team sports that utilise Abu Dhabi infrastructure beyond the UAE Pro League.
The combination of Al Nahyan Stadium and additional grounds enables the listed clubs to schedule and complete fixtures. Points totals for FC Baniyas and Al Jazira FC reflect ongoing participation within this venue-supported system. The November start for the Wildcats provides a further scheduled use of local facilities for a different code of football.
Residents and visitors can follow UAE Pro League fixtures involving the Abu Dhabi clubs through official league channels. The Emirates Football League schedule will become available closer to the November opening for the Wildcats.
