History

 

Al Ahly was formed in 1907 as a club where leaders of Cairo's students' unions could meet during the
struggle against colonisation.
Al Ahly began to dominate the Egyptian game in the 1940s. In the 1980s the club became successful on
a continental level, winning the African Cup of Champions Clubs in 1982 and 1987. They triumphed again
in the renamed competition in 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2008 under the coaching of the Portuguese Manuel
Jose making them the most crowned team in Africa, with six Champions League titles, four Cup-Winners'
Cups, four Super Cups and one Afro-Asian Club Championship.
Al Ahly was the first club to reach the FIFA Club World Cup two times following two consecutive
appearances in 2005 and 2006 winning the Bronze Medal in the latter. After qualifying for 2008 Edition,
Al-Ahly became the team with the most appearances in FIFA Club World Cup, having qualified for 3 times
out of 6 competitions held.

 

 

 

Colors and Crest

	Al-Ahly logo (1952 to 2007).
	Al-Ahly logo (1907 to 1952).

Al Ahly has had three logos in its history. The first, adopted in 1907, lasted until the 1952 Revolution.
The second logo was used from 1952 until 2007, when the club unveiled a new design to commemorate
Al Ahly's first century of existence. The club's main colours, red and white, come from Egypt's flag during
the Ottoman Empire.
Al Ahly's home kit, since the club's founding, had always been the red shirt with the white shorts. The
team's away kit is the dark blue shirt with dark blue shorts, although the team formerly played with white
shorts in the away kit. In 2008, Al Ahly unveiled their third kit for the first time since the club's founding.
It was a match against rivals El Zamalek. The kit is composed of Ahly's home shirt and dark blue or black
shorts. It is still currently in use as a third kit and is still worn by the team in all Al-Ahly versus Al-Zamalek
Derbies. This is due to the fact that El Zamalek wears a white home kit, with red stripes on the shirt.
If Al-Ahly wore their home kit in the derby matches, there would be only a small difference in the shirt
colour and no difference in the shorts' colour.

 

 

 

Stadiums

 

Al Ahly formerly played their home games at their own ground, Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium, but its capacity
is too small for the club's support. As a consequence, Al-Ahly play their home ties at the Cairo International
Stadium. Before seats were added to all sections in 2005, the stadium was notorious for holding more
people than it was intended to. Cairo Stadium has a record of hosting over 120,000 fans in Egypt versus
Cameroon match in 1986
