AlWasl started the League season with high hopes after the successful signings it made during summer. But the team's star, the Goalkeeper Majed Nasser risked the team's chances by getting suspension in the team's second match of the season against Al Shabab, forcing the team to play 5 matches without his very essential services. In the Winter transfer period, Al Wasl ended the contracts of his two new foreign players Blas Pérez and Douglas dos Santos due to their failure to secure a place in the team's squad. It signed the Moroccan player Soufiane Alloudi on a loan contract.

And on 18 February 2010, The team signed Brazilian playmaker Élton.

AlWasl qualified directly to the Round of 16 of the UAE President's Cup. It played against Emirates Club in Khor Fakkan in a match that looked to be an easy task but proved otherwise. Emirates Club was able to beat AlWasl 2-1 in Extra time. The main cause of the early exit from the tournament was Al Wasl's recent triumph after topping their group in the Gulf Club Champions Cup 2009 and also due to the Red Card received by defender Sami Rubaiya.
