Wadi Degla Sporting Club (Arabic: نادي وادي دجلة الرياضي) is an Egyptian sports club known for its football team. The club is related to Wadi Degla Holding, a construction company established in 1994.
In 2009–10, the club was promoted to the Egyptian Premier League for the first time in its history.
History
In 2009–10 Egyptian Second Division, Wadi Degla made history. The team defeated El-Sekka El-Hadid 3–1 in the last week of the competition to seal promotion to the highest level of football in Egypt, Egyptian Premier League, for the first time in its history. It took Wadi Degla only one season to gain promotion from the second division to the Premier League. This is a historical achievement that was only reached once before by Al-Mokawloon Al-Arab (a.k.a. Arab Contractors) in 1981.
Klubi asutati 2002. aastal ja osaleb praegu Egiptuse Premier League'is, mis on riigi kõrgeim jalgpalliliiga. Wadi Degla ei ole veel ühtegi suurt trofeed võitnud, kuid on jõudnud Egiptuse karikafinaali 2013. aastal.
Klubi kodustaadion on Cairo International Stadium, mis mahutab 74 100 pealtvaatajat. Wadi Degla on tuntud oma ründava jalgpalli poolest ja tema meeskonnas on mitmeid andekaid mängijaid, sealhulgas Egiptuse koondislased Ahmed Fathi ja Mohamed Elneny.
Wadi Degla on osalenud ka Aafrika jalgpallivõistlustel, sealhulgas CAF Konföderatsioonikarikal. Klubi parim tulemus kontinendivõistlustel saavutati 2018. aastal, kui ta jõudis veerandfinaali.
