Al Ain Football Club was founded in 1968 by players from Al Ain, members of a Bahraini group of exchange students, and the Sudanese community working in the United Arab Emirates, and it is based in the city of Al Ain in the Eastern Region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The club is a section of the multi-sports club Al Ain Sports and Cultural Club, and its home ground is the Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium, which was named after honorary president Khalifa Bin Zayed and renovated in 2002 and again ahead of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. The club's crest features Al Jahili Fort, and its purple, gold and white colours were adopted for the 1977–78 season after a change from red. Al Ain is the most successful club in the UAE, with a record 15 UAE Pro League titles, 8 President's Cups, 5 Super Cups and 40 trophies in total. It became the first and only UAE side to win the AFC Champions League, claiming the title in 2003 and again in 2024.
