Al Ahly Hockey (Arabic: النادي الاهلي للهوكى), was one of Al Ahly SC club's sections that represented the club in Egypt, Field hockey is one of the oldest sports to play in Egypt. There were unofficial competitions that were played at the inception of the last century by the English military teams while Egypt was under occupancy by the UK. Al Ahly as usual took the lead by 30's to be the first 100% Egyptian club to introduce this sport to his members and followers. This was at the time while there were another 20 sports are played within the club premises. Al Ahly was the best team in this sport in Egypt in 40's and 50's of the last century. The club clinched most of the local competitions. But unfortunately, later, by end of 60's, the club took a decision to dis-solve this sport activity to reduce the costs as the club experienced severe financial problems after 1967 war, and the bad management as well by the club president at that time: Salah Al Dessouki.
