Mahmoud El Khatib, Al Ahly’s president, stated that laying the foundation stone of Al Ahly Stadium is a dream come true.

In his speech at Saturday’s historic event, El Khatib reflected on such an achievement and clarified the next steps.

"We will reach an agreement with one of the international engineering consultant companies, who are specialized in building stadiums, in order to set the design of the stadium."

“Moreover, we will start doing so after having the approval of Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, Minister of Egyptian Youth and Sports, and that is expected to happen within ten days. ”

“I am not worried about the financing of Al Ahly Stadium, especially that we have a lot of supporters.”

“Al Ahly enjoys a huge name, and since the moment of laying the foundation stone of the stadium, there will be huge efforts to contribute in the construction process.”
