Al Jazira Club was founded in 1969 when a group of young people from Abu Dhabi established Al khalidiya Club, which merged in 1974, specifically on the ninth of March, with Al Butain Club which was founded in 1973.  It was agreed to name the new club “Al Jazira”, the two teams were close-by neighbors in the city of Abu Dhabi which helped to speed up the merger. This relationship lasted throughout the 42 years from the date of establishing the club.

Al Jazira team was not as strong as it is now, ranging in positions between staying in the first division tournament in some seasons and relegating to the second division in other seasons; however, the team was able to return strongly in the second half of the nineties of the last decade.
