Al Dhafra 1- 0 Al Wahda (Saturday 16th May 2026)
Al Wahda’s hopes of ending the season on a high suffered another setback after a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Al Dhafra.
Despite controlling large periods of possession and creating several promising opportunities, Al Wahda struggled to break down the hosts’ disciplined defensive display.

Al Jazira 4 – 1 FC Baniyas (Saturday 16th May 2026)
Al Jazira ended the weekend in style after securing an entertaining 4-1 win against FC Baniyas in Abu Dhabi.
The hosts delivered an energetic attacking performance, finishing fourth and earning the chance to qualify for the AFC Champions League Elite through the two-group stage.
For FC Baniyas, it was another challenging result in what has been a challenging season overall. While there have been moments of promise during the campaign, consistency has remained an issue for the club.
Abu Dhabi’s clubs close the campaign on another dramatic season filled with highs, setbacks and standout performances.
