Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium

Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium, Football stadium in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.

Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, used mostly for football and one of the home grounds of Al Ain FC. Its capacity was raised to 12,000 by a 2002 renovation, and it was upgraded again ahead of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.

Khalifa bin Zayed Stadium hosted matches of the 1996 AFC Asian Cup and the Group E games of the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. Its first international football match was Qatar against Egypt on 2 October 2000. A 2002 renovation raised capacity to 12,000, and the ground was upgraded again ahead of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, when it staged six games including a Round of 16 tie.

Al Ain FC plays its home matches here, and since the 2006/07 season all of the club's games have been held at this ground. The stadium's name honours Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, and its Arabic form is Istād Ḵalīfah Bin Zāyid. It staged six games of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, including a Round of 16 tie.

The stadium has ample parking near the entrances and is easy to reach by car. The covered stands shelter spectators from direct sun, making a visit manageable even during the hotter months of the year.
