Ismaily SC

Ismaily Sporting Club (Arabic: نادي الإسماعيلي الرياضي‎) is an Egyptian professional football club, established on 20 March 1921 as El Nahda Sporting Club (Arabic: جمعية نهضة الشباب المصري‎) (Egyptian pronunciation: Nady El Nahda), based in Ismailia, Egypt. The club is best known for its football team. Also it's considered as an Egyptian National Club, where they helped the famous local tour of duty to play for the benefit of the homeland against the occupying armies. The club's nickname The Brazilians, is a reference to their uniforms, which echo those of the Brazil national team, and similar style of play.

Ismaily won the Egyptian Premier League three times in 1967, 1991 and 2002, as well as the Egyptian Cup in 1997 and 2000. In 1969 the club won the CAF Champions League. That event, the first for an Egyptian team, was so monumental at the time that in many ways it remains a legendary victory in the minds of a whole generation. The club reached the CAF Champions League final match in 2003, but lost to Nigerian club Enyimba FC.
