City Dubai will play league matches and train at Police Club Stadium in Ajman from 21 August 2026 through the end of the 2026-27 season.

From 21 August 2026, City Dubai will use Police Club Stadium's natural-grass pitch in Ajman for league matches and training. The arrangement runs until the end of the 2026-27 season.

The agreement also covers security services, match equipment, pitch maintenance and preparation, changing rooms and associated facilities. Use of the venue will follow the UAE Football Association calendar. Al Khaleej reported these terms.

Al Khaleej published its report on 30 September 2026; the available results do not establish a separate date for the signing.

A match venue and training base

Police Club Stadium will be City Dubai's main ground for competition and training. One venue for both. Police Sports and Shooting Club says the stadium meets FIFA requirements for its dimensions and equipment. It is approved to host official matches under the UAE Football Association and can also host club training camps.

Khamis Thani Fairooz, head of the sports activities section at Police Sports and Shooting Club, signed the agreement with City Dubai chairman Sultan Hareb Al Falahi. Fairooz said the club would make its facilities available to support sports organisations. Al Falahi said the stadium's readiness and services would support his players' preparations and competition schedule.

Ajman fixtures listed by Khel Now, CricTracker and Sportskeeda for the same period concern cricket at Seven Districts Ground, not City Dubai's football arrangement at Police Club Stadium. The reviewed results do not provide relevant external corroboration of this agreement.

Facility sharing in the UAE sports calendar

After the signing, City Dubai's chairman presented a commemorative shirt to Ajman Police Chief Major General Sheikh Sultan bin Abdullah Al Nuaimi. The presentation recognised the hosting arrangement and the police club's support for sport and athletes. Recent UAE sports coverage has also included Dubai Basketball's win over Barcelona. The two developments involve separate sports and organisations.

For City Dubai, the arrangement puts league matches and training at one Ajman base. The pitch and supporting facilities are part of the deal. Its value will depend on how much the club uses the ground over the season. The stated terms cover the facilities needed for preparation and official competition.
