Al Urooba History

Al Orooba has been on the scene since their inception in 1972. However, their history dates back to 1960, when two individual clubs, Al Wehda and Al Najma, were founded. Al Orooba is located in Fujairah, in the cities of Qidfa and Mirbah, home to the aforementioned clubs.

Al Orooba was promoted to the famous UAE Pro League in 2021 after defeating Dhaid and finishing first in the UAE Division One League.
