Founded in 1958 Al Shabab are a Dubai based football club that currently sit fourth in the Arabian League. In 1974 the leaders of UAE wanted to focus on the development of sport in the newly formed Emirates. So they decided to bring together two already existing clubs: Al Shabab and Al Arabi together. This was a golden ticket for both clubs who were at the time struggling financially because of the lack of support. So on the 13th of March 1974 the new club was officially announced under the name Al Shabab meaning the youth. This new beginning gave the club a huge lift and the continuous support of H.H Sheikh Saeed Bin Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum helped the club rise to the top. The club has also helped the national side by providing a fresh of young stars who have impressed on an international level. Since then they have won three league titles the last one coming in 2008. Nicknamed The Slashers by local fans, Al Shabab have always been underachievers given the amount of fresh talent they have. They also won the Emir Cup four times. They had a golden year in 2011 when they won both the Etisalat Emirates Cup and the Gulf Club Champions Cup.
