El-Tetsh Stadium is Al Ahly's current training stadium and one of Al Ahly SC club's sections that represent the club in Egypt and internationally. The game of football was not one of the goals of the founders of Al Ahly, rather the goal of the club was opening its doors to students of higher schools to meet and practice political dialogue. The members of the club then fell in love with football, which prompted Ahly to build its first stadium in 1909, called Al-Hawsh, a colloquial word from Egyptian Arabic meaning "the Courtyard". The stadium was developed over the years to be Mokhtar El-Tetsh Stadium. Currently the stadium hosts the team's training and friendly games.
