History
Al Ahly was founded by Omar Lotfi in 1907, as a gathering place for Cairo's students' unions in the struggle against colonisation.[1] The Ahly, meaning "national", was chosen, and Englishman Mitchell Ince became the club's first president.[2] In the absence of a national league, Al-Ahly initially took part in regional competitions, including the Sultan Hussein Cup, which they won seven times between 1917 and 1938.[2]
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, 2008[3] under the coaching of the Portuguese Manuel José and 2012, then finally 2013 making them the most crowned team in Africa, with 8 Champions League titles, four Cup-Winners' Cups, six Super Cups and one Afro-Asian Club Championship.
Perfect season
2005 represented an especially unique season in Ahly's illustrious history. The team would go on to set an unprecedented record of going an entire season being unbeaten in almost all possible competitions. 46 matches were played in the Egyptian Premier League,[4] Egyptian Cup, Egyptian Super Cup and CAF Champions League,[5] with Ahly remaining unbeaten in all of them (as well as winning all four trophies).
Grounds
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
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 support so They turned Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium to their Training Ground. As a consequence, Al-Ahly now play their home ties at the Cairo International Stadium.[1]
