Shabab Al Ahli crowned Adnoc Pro League champions with one round to spare

Shabab Al Ahli have won the 2022/23 Adnoc Pro League with one round to spare, marking the club’s first UAE championship since their 2017 merger.

The Dubai side, needing one victory from their remaining two matches, won 2-1 at Baniyas on Sunday night, meaning neither second-placed Al Ain - last season's league winners - nor Al Wahda in third could catch them.

Both teams sit three points off the summit, but have inferior head-to-head records against the newly crowned champions.
