Al Ahly Sporting Club (Arabic: النادي الأهلي للرياضة البدنية), commonly referred to as Al Ahly, is an Egyptian sports club based in Cairo. It is known as "The Club of the Century" in African football.
The Cairo International Stadium (Arabic: ستاد القاهرة الدولى), formerly known as Nasser Stadium, is an Olympic-standard, multi-use stadium with an all-seated capacity of 75,000. The architect of the stadium is the German Werner March, who had built from 1934 to 1936 the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Before becoming an all seater stadium, it had the ability to hold over 100,000 spectators, reaching a record of 120,000. It is the foremost Olympic-standard facility befitting the role of Cairo, Egypt as the center of events in the region. It is also the 69th largest stadium in the world. Located in Nasr City; a suburb north east of Cairo, it was completed in 1960, and was inaugurated by President Gamal Abd El Nasser on 23 July that year, the eighth anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. Zamalek SC and Al Ahly use Cairo International Stadium for most of their home games.
