Match18 Nov 2026

Al Ahly through in the cup

A 2‑0 win over Police Union, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match23 Nov 2026

Al Ahly up to position 1

34 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

A debut Zidan Nageh will not forget — 7.74

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.74 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Age has not caught Cheick Diabaté yet — 7.81

At 39 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.81 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Samuel Oppong keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Al Ahly may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Al Ahly

Emam Ashour was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match21 Nov 2026

Still nobody has beaten Al Ahly

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Zizo

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces23 Nov 2026

Al Ahly supporters have found a favourite in Samuel Oppong

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Samuel Oppong has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Samuel Oppong is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match10 Oct 2026

The goals have deserted Al Ahly

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Al Ahly can tell you which week it ends in.

Loan watch12 Oct 2026

Omar Kamel wants to come home

“I did not go to Aswan to sit and watch. I want to come back to Al Ahly and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Match10 Oct 2026

Al Ahly come up short against Wadi Degla

Wadi Degla left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Bassem Fathy gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom12 Oct 2026

Doors closed at Al Ahly

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Words at Al Ahly training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marwan Utaka is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market10 Aug 2026

USM Khenchela come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al Ahly did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market10 Aug 2026

Ismaily watching Youssef Belammari

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Al Ahly have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market10 Aug 2026

Marwan Ateya wants more than Al Ahly are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Emam Ashour signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Emam Ashour and Al Ahly agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Al Ahly

Emam Ashour was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market10 Aug 2026

The Amr El Gazar conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: El Dakhleya will make the call about Amr El Gazar this week. Al Ahly have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.
