Al Ahly Sporting Club is a professional football club based in Cairo, Egypt, founded in 1907 as a nationalist sporting and social club during the period of British occupation, and widely recognized, including by the Confederation of African Football, as the most successful club in African football history, having won a record number of CAF Champions League continental titles and Egyptian league championships. Playing in red shirts, the club's name means "The National" in Arabic, reflecting its founding role in Egypt's independence movement, and it maintains a fierce, historically significant rivalry with fellow Cairo club Zamalek known as the Cairo Derby.
