We Sporting Club (Arabic: نادي وي للألعاب الرياضية) is an Egyptian football club based in Cairo, Egypt. The club currently plays in the Egyptian Second Division, the second-highest league in the Egyptian football league system.
History
[edit]The club, previously known as Telecom Egypt and affiliated with the Telecom Egypt company, referred to in Arabic as El Masreya lel Etesalat (Arabic: المصرية للاتصالات), retained this identity until it underwent a name change in August 2023.[1]
The club became known after its top performances in the Egyptian Second Division, and later rose to fame for the first time after being promoted to the Egyptian Premier League in season 2007–08.
In the 2008–09 season, the club attracted much attention after they signed a contract with the retired Egyptian player Hossam Hassan to coach the team. At the time of the signing the club was highly threatened of relegation, and Hossam's main objective was to maintain the club's stance in the Egyptian Premier League, the same way he did with El-Masry, the club he coached the past season. However, and after many extraordinary performances against Egyptian top club, Itesalat club was relegated to the Egyptian Second Division in circumstances that are considered controversial.
