Even though the Egyptian Premier league is not among the Top 10 Football Leagues. Al Ahly have more league titles than any other team in Egypt’s history, having won three times as many.

They hold the record for the most victories in the CAF Champions League, the most victories in the African Cup Winners Cup, and the most victories in the CAF Super Cup. It should not come as a surprise that they were given the title of CAF Club of the 20th Century.

Since then, there has not been much of a letup in the accumulation of trophies. It would not be surprising if the lead of five trophies lasted throughout the entire decade of the 2020s.
