Al-Ahly Soccer Academy
Grassroots Development Program
Our philosophy
At Al-Ahly, we live by the Red Shirt Spirit — a standard built over more than a century of winning, perseverance, and teamwork. It’s more than a jersey or a color; it’s a commitment to Excellence, Discipline, Resilience, and Passion.
The Red Shirt Spirit means competing to the final whistle, never backing down, and playing for something bigger than yourself. We win with humility, face adversity with toughness, and bring pride, accountability, and effort to everything we do —
on and off the field
