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".[3] The lyrics of the anthem are as follows:[4]

                       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

Name origin

Amin Sami Pasha was the first person to propose the name of "Al Ahly Sporting Club". Al Ahly, which means "The National", was named as such because it was created to serve the students and graduates of the high schools who were the mainstay of the revolution against the British occupation of Egypt.[5]

Grounds

Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium (training ground)

Football was not one of the goals of the club's founders. 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 they used to call it at the time (Al-Hawsh), 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.[6] Currently the stadium hold 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 far too small for the club's supporters. As a consequence, Mokhtar El Tetsh Stadium became the official training ground, and Cairo International Stadium replaced it as the official home ground. Since 2014, Al Ahly stopped playing their home games at the Cairo International Stadium for an indefinite period 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.

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.[7]

Saleh Selim Stadium[8]

In November 2022, Al Ahly entered into an agreement with Emirati 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.[9]

The club also has a YouTube channel that has over 1.86 million subscribers as of May 2022. 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, it reached 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

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 (10 years after the foundation of the club), 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.[citation needed] Al Ahly's crest was voted "the second most beautiful in the game" in a 2020 poll by Spanish newspaper Marca.[10]
