History

After two clubs of Suez city were relegated to the Egyptian Second Division (the first was Ittihad Suez club in season 1965/1966 and the second was Suez El-Riyadi club in season 1966/1967) the two clubs joined to found Suez Montakhab Club in 1967.

  • Ittihad Suez club played in the Egyptian Premier League for ten seasons starting from season 1955/1956.
