Al Masry: Egypt’s Oldest and Most Passionate Football Club

When you think of Al Masry, Egypt’s first and most storied football club, founded in 1920 in Port Said. Also known as Al Masry SC, it’s more than a team—it’s a symbol of identity for a city that’s seen revolutions, wars, and rebirths. This isn’t just another club in the Premier League Egypt. Al Masry carries the weight of history, the roar of 40,000 fans at Port Said Stadium, and the pride of a region that refuses to be forgotten on the national stage.

The club’s rivalry with Zamalek and Al Ahly isn’t just about points—it’s about legacy. When Al Masry won the Egyptian Cup in 2002, it wasn’t just a trophy. It was proof that a team from the Suez Canal could beat the giants. Players like Mohamed Aboutrika and Ahmed Hassan wore the red and white with the same fire as the fans who stood in the stands during the 2012 Port Said stadium tragedy, a moment that shook Egyptian football to its core. Since then, Al Masry has fought to rebuild—not just its team, but its spirit. The club’s youth academy has turned out talents who now play across Africa and Europe, and every season, fans hope this is the year they return to continental competition.

Al Masry’s story isn’t just written in match reports. It’s in the chants echoing through Port Said’s narrow streets, in the worn-out scarves passed down from fathers to sons, and in the quiet determination of players who train under the desert sun knowing the whole country might not be watching. You’ll find stories here about their latest Premier League Egypt clashes, injury updates on key midfielders, and how new coaches are trying to revive their attacking play. There are reports on their African Cup of Nations qualifiers, their clashes with Ismaily, and how their fanbase still packs the stadium even when the team’s struggling. This isn’t just a football club page. It’s a living archive of resilience.

Below, you’ll find the latest updates from Al Masry’s season—the wins, the heartbreaks, the signings, and the moments that remind everyone why this club still matters. Whether you’re from Port Said or just discovered them last weekend, this is where the real story unfolds.
