=== Establishment and start of the club ===
[[File:Al Ahly First meeting.jpg|thumb|273x273px|The first official meeting of the Al Ahly club's board.]]
[[File:ModernEgypt, Saad Zaghloul, BAP 14785.jpg|thumb|200px|right|upright|[[Saad Zaghloul]], the minister of education, became the first honorary president of Al Ahly.]]

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 [[List of law schools in Egypt|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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A4%D8%B3%D8%B3-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D8%AF%D9%81-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B7%D9%86%D9%8A/|script-title=ar:المؤسس-والهدف-الوطني|publisher=Al Ahly SC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200702155205/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A4%D8%B3%D8%B3-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87%D8%AF%D9%81-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D8%B7%D9%86%D9%8A/|archive-date=2 July 2020}}</ref>

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 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&nbsp;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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3-%D9%88%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B9/|script-title=ar:أول مجلس في تاريخ الأهلي|publisher=Al Ahly SC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200702154909/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3-%D9%88%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B9/|archive-date=2 July 2020}}</ref>

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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%ad%d8%ac%d8%b1-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a3%d8%b3%d8%a7%d8%b3/|script-title=ar:حجر-الأساس|publisher=Al Ahly SC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200625014159/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%ad%d8%ac%d8%b1-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a3%d8%b3%d8%a7%d8%b3/|archive-date=25 June 2020}}</ref> 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]].<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A5%D8%B3%D9%85-%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3-%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF/|script-title=ar:إسم-جديد-ورئيس-جديد|publisher=Al Ahly SC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804091531/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A5%D8%B3%D9%85-%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3-%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF/|archive-date=4 August 2020}}</ref> On 2 April 1908, Mitchell-Innes stepped down as president of the club. [[Aziz Ezzat Pasha|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 1909.

[[File:Tetch.jpg|thumb|upright|400px|[[Mahmoud Mokhtar El Tetsh|Mokhtar El Tetsh]], one of the club legends, is the namesake of the club's old stadium and current training ground]]
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 [[association football|football]], which prompted the club to build the first stadium in 1909. At the time, they called it [[Hosh (architecture)|Al-Hawsh]]; colloquially meaning ''the courtyard'' in Egyptian Arabic. The stadium was improved over the years, eventually becoming [[Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%a3%d9%88%d9%84-%d9%85%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a8-%d9%83%d8%b1%d8%a9/|script-title=ar:أول-ملعب-كرة |publisher=Al Ahly SC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200704071017/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%a3%d9%88%d9%84-%d9%85%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a8-%d9%83%d8%b1%d8%a9/|archive-date=4 July 2020}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84-%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82-%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A9/|script-title=ar:أول-فريق-كرة |publisher=Al Ahly SC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200702165643/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84-%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82-%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A9/|archive-date=2 July 2020}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%ac%d9%88%d9%84%d8%a9-%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%ae%d9%84%d9%8a%d8%a9/|script-title=ar:جولة-داخلية|publisher=Al Ahly SC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200703234716/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%ac%d9%88%d9%84%d8%a9-%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%ae%d9%84%d9%8a%d8%a9/|archive-date=3 July 2020}}</ref>
Ahly contributed with [[Zamalek SC]], [[El Sekka El Hadid SC]] in the formation of the first football team of Egypt to participate in the [[Football at the 1920 Summer Olympics|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 [[Great Britain|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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A-%D9%88%D9%85%D9%88%D9%82%D9%81-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A/|script-title=ar:المشاركة-الرسمية-الأولي-وموقف-للتاري|publisher=Al Ahly SC|access-date=17 July 2020|archive-date=19 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200719053919/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A-%D9%88%D9%85%D9%88%D9%82%D9%81-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A/|url-status=live}}</ref>

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 [[Egypt Cup#List of finals|final]], and in Africa's most prestigious club competition, the [[CAF Champions League]].

== Port Said Stadium riot ==
{{Main|Port Said Stadium riot}}
On 1 February 2012, a massive riot occurred at [[Port Said Stadium]] in [[Port Said]], Egypt, following an [[2011–12 Egyptian Premier League|Egyptian Premier League]] [[Association football|football match]] between [[Al Masry SC|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.<ref name="cnn">{{cite news|url=https://edition.cnn.com/2012/02/02/world/africa/egypt-soccer-deaths/index.html?hpt=hp_t1|title=Anger flares in Egypt after 79 die in soccer riot|last1=Fahmy|first1=Mohamed Fadel|date=2 February 2012|access-date=2 February 2012|publisher=CNN|last2=Lee|first2=Ian|archive-date=2 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120202140305/http://edition.cnn.com/2012/02/02/world/africa/egypt-soccer-deaths/index.html?hpt=hp_t1|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16845841|title=Egypt football violence leaves many dead in Port Said|date=1 February 2012|access-date=1 February 2012|publisher=BBC News|archive-date=1 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120201201001/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16845841|url-status=live}}</ref> 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".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gate.ahram.org.eg/News/2443514.aspx|work=[[Al-Ahram]]|title=قناة الأهلي تنطلق بأوركسترا لنشيد النادي التاريخي من دار الأوبرا|access-date=30 December 2020|archive-date=16 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200916093549/http://gate.ahram.org.eg/News/2443514.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> The lyrics of the anthem are as follows:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youm7.com/story/2017/10/13/%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%85-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B1%D9%81-%D8%B2%D9%88%D8%AC-%D8%A3%D9%85-%D9%83%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D9%85-%D9%85%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%86-%D9%86%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%87%D9%84%D9%8A/3453068|work=[[Youm7]]|title=لازم تعرف.. زوج أم كلثوم "ملحن" نشيد الأهلي|date=13 October 2017|access-date=30 December 2020|archive-date=21 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191021040202/https://www.youm7.com/story/2017/10/13/%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%85-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B1%D9%81-%D8%B2%D9%88%D8%AC-%D8%A3%D9%85-%D9%83%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D9%85-%D9%85%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%86-%D9%86%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%87%D9%84%D9%8A/3453068|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Grounds ==
=== Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium (training ground) ===

[[File:Buildings or spaces dedicated to play (3).jpg|thumb|upright|250px|Al Ahly fans supporting the team in Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium]]
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 [[Farouk of Egypt|Prince Farouk Stadium]]. By 1956, light stands were added to the stadium. The stadium was later renamed to the Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium, after [[Mahmoud Mokhtar El Tetsh|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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%a3%d9%88%d9%84-%d9%85%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a8-%d9%83%d8%b1%d8%a9/|title=أول ملعب كرة |work=Al Ahly SC Website |date=21 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200704071017/http://alahlyegypt.com/announcement/%d8%a3%d9%88%d9%84-%d9%85%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a8-%d9%83%d8%b1%d8%a9/ |access-date=2 July 2020|archive-date=4 July 2020 }}</ref> 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 Egyptian Premier League|2016–17]] season, Al Ahly played most of their home games at [[Al Salam Stadium (Egypt)|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 Stadium ===
On 14 February 2025, Al Ahly have taken a monumental leap toward realizing their long-awaited vision with the official launch of the "Project of the Century", a sprawling sports city in Sheikh Zayed, west of Cairo, during Friday’s FIFA Club World Cup trophy ceremony. It would include:

- a 42,000 seated to maximize fan proximity to the pitch, aligning with global standards.

- specialized facilities: A sports hospital, museum chronicling the club legacy, a sports university, a youth academy, and a hotel.

===Phased construction===
Phase one will prioritize the stadium and hotel, while phase two introduces the university, hospital, and auxiliary training pitches.

Egyptian financial heavyweight Beltone Leasing & Factoring has committed EGP 4 billion (USD 80 million) to the project, with developer Al Qalaa Al Hamraa for Facilities Management securing additional funding to meet the total estimated cost of EGP 8–9 billion.

The stadium’s final design was unveiled at a high-profile ceremony in Luxor’s Hatshepsut Temple, attended by club dignitaries and partners.

The event also served as a prelude to Ahly’s upcoming participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Construction is set to begin immediately, with completion targeted within 200 weeks (approximately four years).

== Kits and crest ==
{{Commons|Al Ahly SC kits}}
On 3 November 1917, [[Sherif Sabri Pasha|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 [[Sultanate of Egypt|Egyptian flag]] ("[[Sultanate of Egypt]]" at that time which was red and white) and had a crown that represented [[Muhammad Ali Dynasty|Egypt's royal rule]]. In 1952, following the [[1952 Egyptian revolution|July Revolution]] and the change of ruling regime from Monarchy to Republic, the crown was removed, and replaced with the word "''Nady''" which means club in arabic. 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|date=May 2022}} Al Ahly's crest was voted "the second most beautiful in the game" in a 2020 poll by Spanish newspaper [[Marca (newspaper)|Marca]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/2020/05/03/5eaf3917e2704ebe2e8b4620.html|title=The most beautiful football club crest has been chosen after 14 million votes!|website=Marca.com|date=3 May 2020|access-date=30 May 2022|archive-date=30 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220530012902/https://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/2020/05/03/5eaf3917e2704ebe2e8b4620.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
