Al Ahly Clinches Record-Extending 45th Egyptian Premier League Title with 6-0 Rout of Pharco

Al Ahly won their record-extending 45th Egyptian Premier League title with a 6-0 victory over Pharco, thanks in part to Wesam Abou Ali's four goals. The win brings Al Ahly's tally to 58 points, two ahead of their closest rivals Pyramids. Pyramids have requested a three-point deduction from Al Ahly for failing to show up for a match against Zamalek.

Cairo, May 29, 2025 — Al Ahly has clinched a record-extending 45th Egyptian Premier League title with a decisive 6-0 victory over Pharco. The triumph was marked by Wesam Abou Ali's exceptional performance, as he scored four goals and provided an assist for the fifth goal, which was scored by Hussein Elshahat. Imam Ashour sealed the win in added time, ensuring Al Ahly's third consecutive league crown [2].

The victory brings Al Ahly’s tally to 58 points, maintaining a two-point lead over their closest rivals, Pyramids. This win solidifies Al Ahly’s dominance in the league, extending their record to an unprecedented 45 titles [2].

However, the win was not without controversy. Pyramids have lodged a complaint with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), demanding a three-point deduction from Al Ahly for their failure to show up for a match against arch-rivals Zamalek. The Egyptian Professional Football Club Association initially punished Al Ahly with a three-point deduction for this infraction, but the decision was later reversed following Al Ahly's complaint to the local Olympic Committee [2].

Al Ahly's victory is a testament to their consistent performance and dominance in the Egyptian Premier League. Their record-breaking title adds to their legacy as one of the most successful clubs in Africa and the Middle East.
