Dibba Football Club (Arabic: نادي دبا الرياضي الثقافي) is an Emirati professional football club based in Dibba Al-Fujairah,1 which competes in the UAE First Division League. Founded in 1967 as Dibba Al Fujairah FC, the club is part of the Dibba Sports and Cultural Club.2
Stadiums
Dibba's stadium, Dibba Al Fujairah Stadium, did not meet UAE Pro League requirements so the club had to play its home games in Fujairah Club Stadium during their stay in the top flight. Around 2022, the club completed construction of its own new stadium, Dibba Stadium and played its first match at its new home venue against Shabab Al Ahli in the Pro League.3
