Al Jazira play their final home match of the season on Wednesday night and football fans in Abu Dhabi can watch the action unfold with tickets still available.
Al Jazira welcome Al Dhafra to the Mohammed bin Zayed stadium for the penultimate round of the Arabian Gulf League, kicking off at 22:00 with the hosts looking to claim maximum points in their push for AFC Champions League qualification next season.
Third-placed Al Jazira go into the game on the back of last week’s 3-0 victory over Emirates Club and the hosts will be eager to build on that impressive result and give their home fans plenty of reasons to celebrate.
With tickets starting from just AED 15, it’s a fantastic opportunity to gather your friends and family and watch some of the best and promising UAE talent in football.
Among the Al Jazira players that fans can look forward to watching inside the 38,000 capacity stadium includes creative midfielder Khalfan Mubarak, young defender Khalifa Al Hammadi, club captain and goalkeeper Ali Khaseif and experienced centre-back Fares Juma. All four UAE internationals were part of the national squad that competed in the recent AFC Asian Cup.
Mubarak, a nominee for this year’s Best Emirati Player award, will be looking to add to his impressive tally of 10 goals and 12 assists this campaign. Al Hammadi, who is shortlisted for the Best Young Player accolade, as well as Juma and Khaseif will be aiming to keep Al Dhafra attackers quiet.

Al Jazira also have a wide array of talented foreign players. Brazilian attacker Leonardo has been prolific this season, scoring 12 goals while Cameroon’s Sebastian Siani, Ghana’s Ernest Asante and Dutch star Nacer Barazite, bring plenty of creativity to Al Jazira’s midfield.
At Al Jazira Club, it’s a lot more than just football with basketball, jiu-jitsu and handball among the other sports that they participate in.
Earlier this month, the club launched a new outreach community programme, aimed for the Abu Dhabi public. They are keen to hear on what you want, whether it’s visiting the stadium again or joining their sports teams.
