Ismaily SC has been relegated from the top flight of Egyptian football for the first time in 68 years, marking a significant downturn for the club. This relegation comes after a challenging season in the league, the likes of which have not been seen since the 1957–58 season.
On Tuesday, Ismaily SC faced Wadi Degla and suffered a 1-2 defeat, sealing their fate to the Egyptian second division. This outcome represents a notable chapter in the history of Egyptian professional football that has now come to an end for the club, known for its rich legacy.
Ismaily SC made its mark as the first Egyptian team to win the CAF Champions League and has been crowned Egyptian Premier League champions three times. Additionally, the club has twice lifted the Egyptian Cup, establishing a strong presence in the nation’s football history.
