Some sort of education for those who don’t know or understand what I mean when I said earlier this is Pyramids’ “first ever qualification to the Champions League quarters.” 

In 2008, Al Assiouty Sport was formed. They were promoted to the Egyptian League for the first time back in 2014 but they were relegated in their first season when they finished 19th.

They came back again to the Premier League in 2016/2017 season. 

The club was struggling under Beni Seuf and he sold it to Turki Al-Sheikh in 2018.

Turki Al-Sheikh rebranded the club and changed the name to Pyramids FC during this period and moved it to Cairo. He pumped money into the club. 

The first season under a new name called Pyramids FC, they managed to qualify for the Confederation Cup after they finished 3rd in the Premier League.

In 2019, Salem Al Shamsi in an agreement acquired the ownership of the club and they started to be well established to compete at the highest level.

They made the Confederation Cup final in their first season — they beat the likes of Yanga, CR Belouizdad, Enugu Rangers, etc.

Pyramids have just 1 trophy — the Egypt Cup till date. 

Literally, a young club without fan base, some people compare Pyramids to PSG in France. 🧐

In Egypt, it’s believed that Pyramids FC was formed because of Al Ahly. 👀
