Al Qabila FC

Al Qabila FC is a developing football club based in the UAE. They are striving to compete in the UAE First Division League.

Al Qabila FC was founded by former Austrian football player Soheil Varahram. Originally, his project in creating a new team was called "365 Days to Building a Professional Football Club," a sequel to his series "365 Days to Signing a Professional Football Contract." His goal was to make many aspects of the club, including the logo, jersey design, sponsor, and manufracturer, and head coach, up to his social media following on both Tiktok and Instagram to decide.

On 3 November 2023, following the revealing of the club colors being black, white, purple, and gold, as well as a logo contest with submissions worldwide which was narrowed down to five final submissions, the official logo was selected. It contains a gold crown at the top, with a circle containing a gold eagle, and the number "365" with a purple background, as a nod to his aforementioned series.

Al Qabila FC is currently on a international run to scout players. They have gone to countries including Portugal, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Canada, South Africa, and around the UAE.

They have also created a contest called #RoadtoAlQabilaFC where people can record videos to try out via. social media.

On 17 April 2024, it was announced on Tiktok that former English football player Steven Taylor would be the head coach of Al Qabila FC. He was chosen over candidates such as Coach Rafaz and Coach Christo, who both lack the FA qualifications to be a FIFA head coach.
