THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES FOOTBALL LEAGUE AT A GLANCE

Eastern football is on the rise. The United Arab Emirates football league is no less so. The Asian state concentrates powerful clubs on its continent with important players from other continents who are in the final stages of their careers. An evolution that does not stop.

The United Arab Emirates is hosting an increasing number of major global events. Formula 1 and Expo 2022 in Dubai are just a few examples. Football wants to follow in their footsteps and the national talent is growing at the same level. This is what the top flight of Emirati football looks like.

Emirates Football League teams

The top division of football in the United Arab Emirates is known as the Arabian Gulf League. It is made up of 14 clubs from the seven emirates that make up the Asian state. They are all fighting to become champions, qualify for the Asian Champions League or not to be relegated to Division 1.

It runs from October to March. All teams play each other twice, once as home and once as away. 26 rounds of league matches are interspersed with the two cup competitions, the Presidents Cup and the Pro League Cup.
