Shabab Al Ahli Football Club’s remarkable 2024–2025 season reached a new high this week as the team was honoured in two celebratory receptions hosted by UAE leadership. After clinching four major titles this season, the Dubai-based club was welcomed in a special gathering hosted by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at Qasr Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi.

The reception was a tribute to the club's extraordinary performance throughout the season, during which they secured the UAE President’s Cup, the Adnoc Pro League, the UAE Super Cup, and the UAE-Qatar Challenge Shield — a feat that firmly cemented their dominance in regional football.

President Sheikh Mohamed congratulated the players, head coach, club management, and loyal fans, praising their dedication, teamwork, and professionalism. He acknowledged the role of sport in uniting communities and inspiring future generations across the nation.

Adding to the celebrations, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum marked the club’s achievement with a spirited victory dance during a ceremony at Zabeel Palace in Dubai. The lively moment reflected the pride and joy the nation feels toward the team’s historic season.

Sheikh Mohammed, who is also the Ruler of Dubai, lauded the players and coaching staff for their relentless effort and high-level performance. He commended the club’s commitment to excellence, referring to it as a testament to the UAE’s rising stature in the global sports arena.

The club’s management also took the opportunity to thank the UAE leadership for their unwavering support of domestic sports and youth development. Shabab Al Ahli Chairman Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum praised the leadership’s vision for fostering talent and elevating the country's sports infrastructure.

As the celebrations conclude, Shabab Al Ahli now looks ahead to international tournaments and the opportunity to further elevate Emirati football on the world stage.
