Home arena[]

As Al Ahly started to create teams for handball, basketball, and volleyball; they saw the importance of building an arena to host home matches for these clubs. The process of developing designs and searching for funds began in 1978, but was ultimately postponed due to funding issues. It wasn't until the 4th of February, 1994, that Al Ahly opened its sports hall.

On the 4th of February, 1994, Al Ahly officially opened his hall in a large opening ceremony. The ceremony started with a few words from Al Ahly chairman Saleh Selim. He declared that the hall would be named "Prince Abdalla El Faisl Hall" due to his efforts and assistance for Al Ahly, in his place, Abdallas' son Mohammed El Faisl received a commemorative medal. The first match held at the hall was friendly basketball game between Al Ahly and Ithhadd Alex. Following the friendly was a futsal match between retired players from Al Ahly and El Esmailly, with the likes of Mohmoud El Khatib and Aly Abu Greisha participating in the match.
