History

edit

After two clubs of Suez city were relegated to the Egyptian Second Division (the first was Ittihad Suez club in season 1965/1966 and the second was Suez El-Riyadi club in season 1966/1967) the two clubs joined to found Suez Montakhab Club in 1967.

  • Suez El-Riyadi club played in the Egyptian Premier League for five seasons starting from season 1957/1958 and reached the final of the Egypt Cup in season 1964/1965 but lost the final against Tersana 4/1.
