Al Ahly will lay the foundation stone for a new club branch in New Mansoura City next Monday as part of a wider plan to expand its sporting, social and service facilities across Egypt.
The project is intended to extend the club’s reach beyond its existing locations and make its services available to a larger number of members.
A number of public figures, sports representatives and officials from executive bodies are expected to attend the ceremony marking the formal start of the development.
The New Mansoura branch is among Al Ahly’s most significant planned projects for the coming period and forms part of the club’s broader strategy of geographical expansion.
Club officials aim to use new branches and investment projects to strengthen infrastructure, broaden membership access and develop facilities that can serve both sporting and social purposes.
Expansion beyond existing branches
Al Ahly’s decision to establish a branch in New Mansoura reflects its ambition to increase its presence in different governorates.
The club has placed expansion at the centre of its development plans, seeking to offer its members access to services in more locations rather than concentrating activity in its traditional bases.
The proposed branch is expected to include a range of sporting, social and service facilities.
Although full details of the planned site have not been announced, the club intends for the development to operate as an integrated branch built to modern standards.
The project is designed to provide facilities that can support sporting activities while also creating social spaces and services for club members.
For Al Ahly, the development represents an investment in long-term growth as well as an effort to meet demand from supporters and members in the New Mansoura area.
Ceremony to mark start of project
The foundation-stone ceremony will take place next Monday and is expected to bring together figures from sport and public life.
Representatives of executive authorities are also due to attend, underlining the importance placed on the project’s launch.
The event will formally signal the beginning of the implementation stage, with construction work expected to follow once the preliminary arrangements are completed.
Al Ahly is carrying out the project in cooperation with specialist companies in real estate development and construction.
The involvement of these companies is intended to support the planning and delivery of the new branch, ensuring that the facilities are developed in line with the club’s requirements.
The club’s strategy is based on combining sporting expansion with investment projects, using new developments to strengthen both its infrastructure and its connection with members in different parts of the country.
Long-term focus on facilities and services
The New Mansoura branch is part of a wider approach by Al Ahly to improve and extend its facilities.
By establishing new locations, the club hopes to provide more opportunities for members to access sporting programmes, social activities and other services.
The project also reflects the growing importance of modern infrastructure in the development plans of major football clubs.
While Al Ahly is widely known for its sporting achievements, the new branch is intended to support the club’s wider institutional role as a social and sporting organisation.
The start of construction will therefore represent more than the development of a new site. It will be another stage in Al Ahly’s effort to build a broader national presence through facilities designed for members, athletes and the surrounding community.
