History
The beginning was just an idea by Omar Lotfi Bek, president of the High School Students' Club, a national club established in 1905 to unite intellectuals from Egyptian youth resisting the British occupation.
Thus, rights activist Omar Lotfi proposed the idea of establishing a parallel sports club for a group of dignitaries in Egypt, headed by his old friend, the leader Mustafa Kamel. And indeed everyone was excited about the idea and it was agreed to establish the club and the meeting to discuss the first steps of construction.[4]
The establishment of the club was approved and Ismael Seri Pasha designed the main building of the club as an architect.[5]
In what many saw as a rare gesture of self-denial, Omar Lotfi Bek abdicated the honor of the historic position of the first club president for Englishman, Mitchell Ince, who was an adviser to the finance ministry at the time, to facilitate financial support for the club. [6]
First honorary leader was the leader, Saad Zaghloul, as Minister of Education at the time decided for the first time to choose the name of the Al Ahly Club of Physical Sports at the suggestion of the Egyptian historian, Amin Sami Pasha, in February 1908. The name "Al Ahly" was chosen because it contains the word "national"
The first meeting of the Board of Directors of Al Ahly Club was held on April 24, 1907. The committee met at 5:30 pm in the house of Ins in Giza, headed by Driss Ragheb Bey, Ismail Seri Pasha, Amin Sami Pasha, Omar Lotfi Bek and Mohamed Effendi Sherif.[7]
Although the game of football was not one of the goals of the founders of Al Ahly club where the motivation is an Egyptian club opens its doors to students of higher schools to meet and practice political dialogues and national, but the graduates of high schools members of the club have fallen in love with this new game, which prompted Ahly to build the first stadium Of football in 1909.
