Abtal Al Khaleej Stadium
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Abtal Al Khaleej Stadium sits quietly in the Mirdif district of Dubai, serving as the nominal home for Forte Virtus Football Club. The ground is smaller than many other facilities in the city. Because the capacity is so limited, the team has frequently played its home matches at alternative venues, including Khalid Bin Mohammed Stadium in Sharjah and The Sevens Stadium in Al Lisaili. This rotation has been especially common during their campaigns in the UAE First Division League.
The club itself has undergone several name changes, previously operating as Gulf Football Club and Abtal Al Khaleej FC. They won the UAE Second Division League in the 2020–21 season, defeating Dubai City 3–0 in the final. However, they were relegated back to the second tier for the 2024–25 season, where they finished 6th. While the club is based in Mirdif, some recent league tables have associated the stadium location with Al Khawaneej, though the exact street address is not explicitly documented in available sources.
The building is also known as the Gulf Hero's Football Pitch. It is linked to the Gulf Heroes Sports Club complex on Algeria Street. The specific year the stadium was opened is not found, nor is the identity of the builder. The playing surface type is not specified in the sources. The stadium has not been renamed independently of the club's identity changes.
