Initially, [[Al-Ahly]] refused to take part. This left [[Al-Zamalek]] as the only Egyptian club. In 1918, Al-Ahly decided to take part as a sign of resistance to the British and a way to display the Egyptian presence in the sport.

Zamalek was the only Egyptian club to participate in the championship as a sign of resistance to the British and a way to display the Egyptian presence in the sport. Zamalek reached the final of the 1917 edition and eventually won the cup in 1920–21. This encouraged other Egyptian clubs to participate including Al Ahly which initially refused to take part, but in 1918, they decided to take part.[4]
