Al Ahly was founded by Omar Lotfi in 1907, as a gathering place for Cairo's students' unions in the struggle against colonization. Al Ahly, meaning "the national", was chosen, and Englishman Mitchell Ince became the club's first president. In the absence of a national league, Al Ahly initially took part in regional competitions, including the Sultan Hussein Cup, which they won seven times between 1917 and 1938.
