'''Dubai City Football Club''' ({{langx|ar|نادي سيتي لكرة قدم}}) is a professional [[Association football|football]] club based in [[Al Barsha|Dubai, United Arab Emirates]]. The club was founded in 2018 and is owned by Sultan Hareb Al Falahi, a prominent figure in UAE football.
==History== The club was established with the aim of promoting football in the UAE and providing a platform for local talent to shine. Since its inception, Dubai City FC has been committed to developing young Emirati players and competing at the highest level in UAE football.
In the 2023-2024 season, the team faced a setback when they were relegated to the [[UAE Second Division League]] from the [[UAE First Division League]]. However, the club's management and players worked tirelessly to regroup and refocus on their goals.
Under the leadership of manager [[Michael Rice (football manager)|Michael William Rice]], the team made a swift return to the top tier, earning promotion back to the UAE First Division League in the 2024-2025 season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Instagram |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ6x_SWTpZc/ |access-date=2025-06-16 |website=www.instagram.com}}</ref>
