Ahly, which means national, have claimed 30 domestic championships and nine top African titles among their long list of honours and were named by CAF as Africa's Club of the Century. Known as the 'people's team', their massive fan base, traditionally from Cairo's working class, is believed to top 50 million, making them one of the best supported clubs in world football.
Ahly began to dominate the Egyptian game with their eternal rivals Zamalek in the 60s thanks to the revolutionary tactics employed by legendary Hungarian coach Nandor Hidegkuti. But it was not until the 80s that the Red Devils truly emerged as a continental power, winning the top club competition in 1982 and 1987. They triumphed again in 2001 under the inspirational will of Manuel Jose and now, less than three years into his record-breaking second stint, Ahly have added another continental crown in a remarkable period of dominance. .................
