If you find yourself in Ismailia, the historic city straddling the Suez Canal, make time to catch a match at the impressive Suez Canal Authority Stadium. Home to Olympic El Qanah, this thoroughly modern venue barely resembles its former self. Between 2019 and 2022, the old 10,000-capacity ground was completely torn down and rebuilt from scratch under the direction of Head Engineer of SC Authority Ahmed Ragab, emerging as a sleek 22,000-seat arena that reflects Egypt's ambitious vision for football infrastructure.
The stadium offers comfortable viewing for every spectator, as it's designed as an all-seater throughout. Whether you're a die-hard football fan or simply curious about local sports culture, the venue provides an authentic Egyptian football experience in a city that's often overlooked by tourists rushing between Cairo and the Sinai Peninsula. The atmosphere on match days can be electric, and the stadium's relatively recent completion means you'll enjoy modern facilities that rival newer venues across the continent.
