Al-Ahly Sports Cultural and Social Club, known as Al-Ahly SCSC, is a Libyan sports club based in Benghazi. Al-Ahly SC has its roots in a political party, the Omar al Mukhtar society.
Al-Ahly SC Libya was made a professional football club in 1947, although they had existed years before then.
In 2000, the club's headquarters and training complex was demolished by the Libyan government, supposedly destroying records, trophies and medals of the club. The demolition was allegedly carried out in response to Al-Ahly fans insulting Saadi Gaddafi by dressing a donkey in a shirt baring his squad number, but other sources pointed to the burning a few days before of the Libyan Football Federation offices in Benghazi by angry Al-Ahly fans as the matter.[1] The club was then given an indefinite ban which lasted until 2005. Saadi Gaddafi had denied all the allegations.[2]
The club has been given 77acres of land for a new ground by the Libyan Jamahiriya government, although it cannot afford to develop it.
Note: Alahly SC (Benghazi) is the only club in Libya which has a star in its logo before reaching 10 league titles.
