History and achievements
Ismaily SC is an Egyptian football club founded in 1924 in Ismaïlia, Egypt.
The 1960s brought them true glory. The club claimed their first silverware in the 1966/67 season when they won the Egyptian Premier League. It was a fruitful season for Ismaily as they won 15 out of 22 games, and lost only one to giants Al-Ahly. In 1969, the team announced themselves to African football becoming the first Egyptian and Arab side to win the CAF Champions League. In 2003, they fought for the Champions League trophy once again but failed to win the final match against Nigerian side Enyimba FC.
In 1991, Ismaily made their second Premier League success. This time they broke down Ahly 2-0 in a crucial match and snapped up the title. The club claimed their first Egyptian Cup in 1997 and repeated the feat in 2000. In 2002, the team’s trophy cabinet welcomed their third league title.
Ismaily are renowned for a spectacular style of play they produce and their crafty players like Salah Abu Greisha and Ali Abu Greisha. That is the reason why they are often called the Egyptian Samba. However, it’s a paradox that the team rarely can channel their abilities into championships.
The team are also nicknamed the Mango Boys and the Yellow Dragons. Ismaily SC play their home matches at the 18,525 seater Ismailia Stadium.
