Al Ahly 2026‑27 season preparations

Entities: Al Ahly Sporting Club · Hussein Amuta · Moataz Gamal · Imam Ashour · Hussein Omuta

Overview

Al Ahly continued its pre‑season build‑up in late July, confirming a friendly with Saudi side Al‑Nasr on 23 July and a match versus Laviena on 30 July. The club then launched a two‑week training camp in Spain from 6 August to 20 August under coach Hussein Omuta. During the camp Al Ahly posted a 7‑1 victory over Laviana, a 5‑1 win over Al‑Nasr and a 5‑2 triumph against Petrol Asyout on 5 August before heading to the Joan Gamper Cup to face FC Barcelona on 19 August.

Goalkeeper Mustapha Shobier remained on the radar of Spanish clubs such as Atlético Madrid, Valencia and Getafe, with Al Ahly reviewing any potential offers before the transfer window closes. The club also pressed ahead with urgent signings in defence, defensive midfield and right‑back, while planning contract renewals for key players.

Off the pitch, Al Ahly’s new stadium project progressed, with Vodafone securing naming‑rights and contributing revenue estimated at roughly 40 % of construction costs. The venue will feature smart services, VIP areas and stadium‑wide Wi‑Fi. Membership enrolments were reopened until 31 December 2026 at the previous price, reflecting strong fan demand.

In early August the squad returned to Cairo under coach Ayman Ramadi, training ahead of the league start and preparing for a friendly against Tala'ea El‑Gaish. Al Ahly recorded a 3‑0 win over UAE side Dibba Al‑Fujairah, with goals from Ahmed Amin Oufa, Yao Anwar and Sid Neymar. Chairman Ashraf Nassar denied rumours that defender Amr Al‑Jazar’s transfer fee had reached 60 million EGP. Overall, Al Ahly’s preparations combine intensive fitness work, tactical testing, transfer activity and infrastructure development ahead of the 2026‑27 campaign.
