Al Wahda Football Club (Arabic: نادي الوحدة لكرة القدم) is a football club based in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates that plays in the UAE Arabian Gulf League. The club was founded in 1974 and plays its home games at the Al-Nahyan Stadium. The club's colours are maroon, grey and white.
Al Wahda has won the UAE Arabian Gulf League four times, with the most recent title coming in the 2009–10 UAE Pro-League season.
The Al Nahyan stadium is the home of Al Wahda, and although Al-Nahyan Stadium is perhaps less impressive in terms of infrastructure (12,000 seats) it still boasts a fervent atmosphere on match days and has the added advantage of being only three kilometres from the city centre.
