Hatta Club is a sports club based in Hatta in the Emirate of Dubai, UAE, founded in 1981. It is most widely known for its professional football team, which currently plays in the UAE Division One.[1] Founded in 1981, the club’s football team plays its home matches at the Hamdan Bin Rashid Stadium, which has a capacity of 5,000 spectators. Nicknamed the “Tornado,” Hatta FC has experienced fluctuating fortunes in UAE football. They secured the UAE Division One title twice, in the 2015–16 and 2022–23 seasons, earning promotion to the UAE Pro League on both occasions. However, the 2023–24 season proved challenging, as the club finished 14th and was relegated back to the First Division. Notably, during that season, Hatta FC suffered a record 10–0 defeat to Shabab Al-Ahli, marking the largest margin in Emirates Pro League history. Despite these setbacks, Hatta FC remains a significant presence in Emirati football, striving to return to the top tier.
