For over a decade, Al Ain and Al Jazira have stood as pillars of dominance in the ADNOC Pro League, setting benchmarks that no team has yet managed to eclipse.

Al Ain, Al Jazira's records under threat as stage set for new Pro League season

As the 2025-26 campaign gets underway, the stage is set for a season brimming with ambition, as several contenders eye the chance to etch their names into history by toppling these enduring milestones.

Al Ain boast two of the league's most iconic achievements: the longest winning streak in the ADNOC Pro League history, with IO consecutive victories, and the highest points tally in a single season — an imposing 74 points during their triumphant 2012-13 campaign.

Not to be outdone, Al Jazira's legacy is equally formidable.

The Pride of Abu Dhabi hold the record for the most wins in a single season 22 triumphs in 2016-17 — along with the highest points total for a title-winning side, amassing 68 points in that same memorable year.

This season, the challenge to Al Ain's unmatched winning run is as fierce as ever.

Four sides - Shabab Al Ahli, Al Wahda, Al Wasl, and Al Jazira — are already tied on nine straight victories in past campaigns, just one short of equaling the mark.

Any of them, including Al Ain themselves, could push the bar even higher in the coming months.
