Club's history

The Heliopolis Sporting Club was founded in Cairo on January 1, 1910, by the Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases Company, which managed the club until December 31, 1921. On January 1, 1922, the club members took over the management by a contract signed with the company.Шаблон:Citation needed

The activities of the club included water polo, swimming, diving, squash, tennis, golf, cricket, hockey, bridge, bowling, football, handball, basketball, volleyball, speed ball, ballet, gymnastics, snooker, athletics, and different kinds of dancing.

In 1947, the area of the club was reduced to its present size after the company took back the land of the golf course. Golf was cancelled after the frequent objections of club members to the large expenses incurred by the game, which, in the end, was not played by many members.

Shorouk branch

Heliopolis Sporting Club has another branch, in Shorouk city. The total area of the Shorouk branch is three times bigger than the main club in Heliopolis.
