History
Establishment and start of the club
The idea of establishing Al Ahly came in the first 10 years of the 20th century and was firstly raised by Omar Lotfy, who was a student in the Egyptian Law School during his presidency of the High School Students Club. The establishment of a club for high school students was for political reasons along with the students needing a sports club for them to gather for leisure and exercise.
He discussed the idea of establishing the club with a group of friends who were enthusiastic about it and in 1907, Al Ahly was established.[3]
The club was first headed by Alfred Mitchell-Innes, who was a British advisor to the Ministry of Finance at the time. He was the first head in order to facilitate financial support for the club. An official meeting of the club's board was held on 24 April 1907. The committee met at 5:30 pm in the house of Mitchell-Innes in Giza under his chairmanship and the membership of Idris Ragheb Bey, Ismael Seri Pasha, Amin Sami Pasha, Omar Lotfi Bek and Mohamed Effendi Sherif as secretary.[4]
After the establishment of the club was approved, the main building was designed by architect Ismail Seri, and revised by Mitchell-Innes. A civil company on the behalf of Al Ahly Sports Club was established. Shares of the company were worth £E5 each, and it was the goal of the club when it was established to raise £E5,000. Only £E3,165 were collected over a year which was not enough to fund the establishment. This forced the club to borrow £E1,000 from the National Bank of Egypt in March 1908. Talaat Harb, the president of the Bank of Egypt, contributed £E100 to the establishment of the club.
The first honorary president of the club was the Minister of Education Saad Zaghloul.[5] The name of Al Ahly Sporting Club was suggested by Amine Samy Amin, who suggested that the name is similar to the word "national" in Egyptian Arabic.[6] On 2 April 1908, Mitchell-Innes stepped down as president of the club. Aziz Ezzat was appointed as the new president and became the first Egyptian president of Al Ahly. The official opening ceremony of the club was held in its main building on 26 February 1908.
The game of football was not one of the goals of the founders of Al Ahly SC, but rather to open its doors to students of high schools to meet and practice political dialogues. However, the graduates of high schools who were members of the club developed a passion with football, which prompted the club to build the first stadium in 1909. At the time, they called it Al-Hawsh; colloquially meaning the courtyard in Egyptian Arabic. The stadium was improved over the years, eventually becoming Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium.[7]
The first official football team was established in 1911. The team was primary and secondary school players who played football in Al-Hawsh. The names of the first players of Al Ahly were as follows: Hussein Hegazi, Abdel Fattah Taher, Fouad Darwish, Hussein Mansour, and Ibrahim Fahmy.[8]
In 1915, Al Ahly made tours to Egyptian cities to play matches and to spread football and its culture. Al Ahly played in Alexandria, Port Said, Assiut, and Ismailia. The team, led by Hussein Hegazi, faced many teams, including foreign teams belonging to the British Army, which increased the popularity of Al Ahly and the new game in Egypt.[9] Ahly contributed with Zamalek SC, El Sekka El Hadid SC in the formation of the first football team of Egypt to participate in the 1920 Olympic Games. The club also contributed to the establishment of the Egyptian Football Association.
First titles (1918–1948)
After Al Ahly's refusal to compete with foreign British clubs in the Sultan Hussein Cup in its first edition in 1917, the club's management decided to participate in the 1918 championship as a sign of resistance and to display Egyptian presence in the sport.[10] In 1923, Al-Ahly won their first Sultan Hussain Cup after beating the defending champion Zamalek SC, with them winning six other titles to be the record holder in the number of wins until the last edition in 1938.[11] They also played an active role in the establishment of the Egyptian Tennis Federation.[12]
The club followed their first win of the Sultan Hussain Cup with the King Farouk Cup in 1924, defeating El Sekka El Hadid 4–1 in the final. The man of the match was Mokhtar Eltetsh, who scored two goals.[13]
In the summer of 1929, Al Ahly's football went on a tour where the team traveled to face several European clubs, such as Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray in Turkey and BFC Preussen, 1860 Munich and Schalke in Germany. The tour ended with Al Ahly playing the last two games in Bulgaria against Levski Sofia and Slavia Sofia.[14]
In November 1930, Al-Ahly defeated rival Zamalek 4–0 in a match in the Cairo League. In that game, Mokhtar El Tetsh was the first player to score a hat trick in the Cairo Derby.[15] At the end of the 1936–1937 season, Al Ahly managed to win the league in the last round by defeating Zamalek 4–1, finishing three points ahead of their rivals. The club won the King Farouk Cup with a 3–2 victory over El Sekka El Hadid SC.[16]
In 1938, Al Ahly won the last version of the Sultan Hussein Cup, with a 1–0 victory over Al Masry in the final match. The club won the Cairo League, again in the last round, with a 5–1 victory over the second placed Zamalek.[17][18]
The team traveled to Mandatory Palestine in 1943 on a 23-day tour, headed by Mokhtar El Tetsh, to play several matches with Arab teams to support Palestine against the Zionists. The decision had been made despite the refusal of the president of the Egyptian Football Association Haider Pasha, due to the pressure from the British position against the Palestinian issue.[19]
Dominating the league (1948–1967)
In the first edition of the Egyptian Premier League, held for the first time in 1948, Al Ahly won the first match 5–0 against Greek Alexandria.

In the 1951–52 season, the league championship was cancelled due to the Egyptian revolution that year, and to allow the national team to prepare for the 1952 Summer Olympics.

With this victory, Al Ahly won the treble for the third time in their history, and becoming the first African team to complete the continental treble three times.[86][87]

On 13 June 2022, Mosimane parted ways with Al Ahly and Samy Koumsan took over the manager role as an interim manager.[98] On June 29, 2022, Ricardo Soares replaced Pitso Mosimane as Al Ahly's manager. His debut with Al Ahly was against Petrojet in the Egypt Cup semi-final in which he led Al Ahly to a 2–0 victory to face rival Zamalek for the Egypt Cup Final, in which Al Ahly lost 2–1. This period witnessed a mass deterioration of Al Ahly, losing 3–2 to Smouha and Soares's league debut was a goalless draw with El Gouna, Al Ahly lost 2–0 to Pyramids in the league, drawing with Mokawloon Al Arab and drawing with Pharco. Al Ahly for the first time since the 1991–92 season was not in the top two of the Egyptian Premier League table as the club finished third place.
Following disappointing results during his time as manager, Ricardo Soares was sacked on August 31, 2022, just 2 months after he was appointed as Al Ahly's manager.

Rivalries
Шаблон:Main The Cairo Derby is a rivalry between Egyptian clubs Al Ahly SC and Zamalek SC. Both clubs are located in Greater Cairo, and their matches are considered the highlight of the football season with a live broadcast to most of the Middle Eastern and North African countries since the 1970s. Typically, the derby is played twice each season with two matches in the Egyptian Premier League, but it is not uncommon to find the teams meeting each other in the Egypt Cup, especially in the final, and in Africa's most prestigious club competition, the CAF Champions League.
Supporters
Ultras Ahlawy

Port Said Stadium riot
Шаблон:Main On 1 February 2012, a massive riot occurred at Port Said Stadium in Port Said, Egypt, following an Egyptian Premier League football match between Al-Masry and Al Ahly, following a 3–1 victory by Al-Masry. Al-Masry supporters violently attacked supporters of Al Ahly by trapping them inside the stadium and attacking them with clubs, stones, bottles, and fireworks.[103][104] As a result, 72 supporters of Al Ahly were killed with more than 500 injured after thousands of Al-Masry spectators stormed the stadium stands and pitch. Many of the deaths were due to the police's refusal to open the stadium gates. Members of Ultras Ahlawy claim that the supporters were specifically targeted because of their highly televised calls for the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to step down, as well as their open mockery of the previous regime and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
Anthem
"Arise, Al Ahly" is the club's official anthem written by the journalist Fekry Abaza in 1957 and composed by Umm Kulthum's husband Mahmoud Sherif. It was influenced by the anthem of the Egyptian Revolution of 1919 "Arise Egyptian".[105] The lyrics of the anthem are as follows:[106]
Arise, Al Ahly, see your sons and the soldiers see your Battalions, see your soldiers and the crowds
See the signs of victory through all the generations see and record the glories of immortality in them
You are always you are always always on the top
Every blessing in your life is with us and that is the will of our Lord
From your elders we gained our glory and with your youth we kept our name
You are always you are always always on the top
Grounds
Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium (training ground)
The club was originally founded for students of higher schools to meet and practice political dialogues. However, the club, which prompted Al Ahly to build its first stadium in 1909 and was called "Al-Hawsh" at the time, which is a colloquial word from the Egyptian dialect meaning “the courtyard” in Arabic. The stadium was developed over the years to become known as Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium. In 1929, the stadium was named after Egypt's prince at this time, the Prince Farouk Stadium. By 1956, light stands were added to the stadium. The stadium was later renamed to the Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium, after Mokhtar El-Tetsh, a legend of the club. Al Ahly continued to play their home games at Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium until the Cairo International Stadium was opened.[107] Currently, the stadium holds the team training and friendly games.
Cairo International Stadium
Al Ahly formerly played their home games at their own ground, Mokhtar El Tetsh Stadium, but its capacity was too small for the club's supporters. As a way of solving the issue, Mokhtar El Tetsh Stadium became the official training ground, and Cairo International Stadium replaced it as the official home ground. From 2014 to 2017, Al Ahly stopped playing their home games at the Cairo International Stadium due to security reasons. In the 2016–17 season, Al Ahly played most of their home games at Al Salam Stadium and played their matches in the African competitions at Borg El Arab Stadium. At the first leg of the Egyptian Premier League 2017–18 season, Al Ahly returned to Cairo International Stadium as its official home ground. Шаблон:Wide image
Al Ahly WE Al Salam Stadium
On 4 December 2019, Al Ahly announced that they bought Al Salam Stadium as usufruct for 25 years or until Al Ahly SC Stadium is built and important matches that needs larger capacity will be played on Cairo Stadium, the stadium was later renamed to Al Ahly Stadium.
The first match hosted by the stadium was on 6 December against Al-Hilal Club at the 2019–20 CAF Champions League group stage.
Despite acquiring the stadium, Al Ahly confirmed that El Entag El Harby, a club owned by the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production that used to play their home matches there, would be allowed to play at the stadium normally until the end of the 2019–20 season to avoid any possible problems or conflicts in the league's schedule, with the option to extend it for further seasons. Al Ahly also confirmed that all national teams would be allowed to play on the venue.[108]
Saleh Selim Stadium
In November 2022, Al Ahly entered into an agreement with Multi national company Poplous which had built football stadiums such as Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and London's famous Wembley Stadium to construct a new stadium for the club.
It was announced that the stadium will be established on an area about 46,000 meters, and it would hold about 50,000 fans, making it the 3rd largest stadium in Egypt after Borg El Arab Stadium and Cairo International Stadium. It will have a sporting complex around the stadium that will include a squash complex with 8 courts, a gymnastics and a karate hall, as well as training grounds for football. It is expected construction will be completed within 5 years in Sheikh Zayed City.
Media
Al Ahly TV is an Egyptian-Arab channel that currently broadcasts the football team's friendly matches, youth team matches and other sports matches. The channel was established in 2008, in cooperation with Arab Radio and Television Network. The official broadcast of the channel was launched on 3 December 2010 when former club president Hassan Hamdy announced the opening of the channel.[109]
The club also has a YouTube channel that has over 1.16 million subscribers as of September 2023. Training videos, exclusive features, and match highlights are frequently published on the channel. On 22 January 2021, the club's channel on YouTube released a documentary called Secret of the 9th, with it reaching one million views in less than one day.
In addition, the club has its own weekly magazine which covers the club's various news.
Kits and crest
Шаблон:Commons On 3 November 1917, Mohamed Sherif Sabri Bek (who was the uncle of King Farouk I) became a member of the club and designed the first logo of Al Ahly. It was inspired by the Egyptian flag (which was red and white at the time) and had a crown that represented Egypt's royal rule. In 1952, following the July Revolution and changing the ruling method of Egypt to presidency, the crown was removed. The logo remained unchanged until 2007, when it had slight changes celebrating the club's centenary. In late 2018, a 4th star was added on the top of the badge after Al Ahly's 40th league title.Шаблон:Citation needed Al Ahly's crest was voted "the second most beautiful in the game" in a 2020 poll by Spanish newspaper Marca.[110]
