Al Salam Stadium (Arabic: ستاد السلام), also was referred to as Al Ahly WE Al Salam Stadium (Arabic: ستاد الأهلي وي السلام) for sponsorship reasons following their acquisition of the stadium, is a multi-use stadium used mostly for association football matches with an all-seated capacity of 30,000. The stadium is the home venue of Egyptian Premier League sides Al Ahly and El Entag El Harby.[1] The stadium was built in 2009 and hosted Group B during the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and also hosted matches in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
On 4 December 2019, Al Ahly announced that they acquired the stadium from the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production for 25 years until 2045 as part of the club's "2045 vision", with an option to return the stadium if Al Ahly's new proposed stadium is built.[2] As a result, it was reported that the stadium's official name was officially changed from Al Salam Stadium to Al Ahly WE Al Salam Stadium on 12 August 2020.[3] However, El Entag El Harby president Ashraf Amer announced only one day later that stadium's name will not change from Al Salam Stadium according to the agreement reached between Al Ahly, the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production, and Estadat.[4]
Despite acquiring the stadium, Al Ahly confirmed that El Entag El Harby, a club owned by the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production that used to play their home matches there, would be allowed to play at the stadium normally until the end of the 2019–20 season to avoid any possible problems or conflicts in the league's schedule, with the option to extend it for further seasons. Al Ahly also confirmed that all national teams would be allowed to play on the venue.[5] Al-Ahly topped all African clubs with the largest social media following, with 33 million followers across all social media platforms as of 12 October 2022.[6]
The stadium was one of the venues for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
