Football club
Tersana
Full name
Tersana Sporting Club نادي الترسانة للألعاب الرياضية
Tersana's most important accomplishments include winning the Egypt Cup title six times and the Egyptian league title once. On the continental side, Tersana also participated in the CAF Cup Winners' Cup once in 1987 and was eliminated in the second round by Tunisian Espérance. The first leg, played in Cairo, ended with a draw, while the second leg, played in Tunisia ended in a 0–2 loss.
The Tersana SC was established in 1921, when Egypt was a British protectorate, by English Major Slauter. He became the first president of the club which was based first in Bulaq, then to Agouza, and to its current headquarters in Mit Okba in 1958.
The main reason for its establishment was to serve the staff of the Maritime Administration (currently the Ministry of Irrigation), so it was called Tersana. Blue uniforms were chosen to represent the sea.[further explanation needed]
There are different explanations for the nickname 'Hammers', typically signifying the hardness of the team. The most famous legend involves the team recruiting a number of former fedayeen.[citation needed] The nickname was popularized by sports critics and after the intervention of defender Fouad Gouda, causing injury on foot Saleh Selim.[citation needed]
Moustafa Reyadh is the only Egyptian player to score 6 goals in one match
