Fayoum SC (updated)

Fayoum SC

 

Fayoum Sports Club (in Arabic: نادي الفيوم), officially Muhafazat Fayoum Sporting Club (in Arabic: نادي الفيوم للألعاب الرياضية), also translated as Fayoum Governorate Club, is a multi-sports club based in the city of Fayoum (also spelled Faiyum or Fayyūm) in Middle Egypt, whose football (soccer) team currently competes in the Egyptian Second Division B, the third tier of Egyptian football. Fayoum SC was established in 1951, obtained an official license in 1975 and is supported and managed by a board of directors, elected every four years. Their home ground was usually Fayoum Stadium, a multi-purpose facility, shared with other teams in the city of Fayoum, notably Misr Lel-Makkasa. However, due to works that have been carried out at Fayoum Stadium since November 2017, the team currently plays its home games at the Police Academy (Ittihad El Shorta) Stadium in Abbassia, a neighbourhood of the capital city of Cairo, and used the Alassiouty Sport Resort Stadium as their home ground between 2017 and 2023. Fayoum SC played for many years in the Second Division but has never promoted or played the promotion play-offs for the Egyptian Premier League. In 2023 they were relegated to the newly-created Second Division B. The traditional colour is red, and they predominantly use red kits. However, green kits are also used, according to the colour of Fayoum Governorate (Muhafazat), which gives the name to the club.

History

 

In the era of King Farouk, before 1951, Mohamed Bek Zaki, one of the aristocratic figures close to the royal family, saw Fayoum as a beautiful city, wanted to settle there and to establish a sporting and social club. He settled in Fayoum in the area of Al-Joun and built the first facilities for the club in 1951, initially just a building with a few rooms. Since the very beginning, the club was named Muhafazat Fayoum Sporting Club, to represent the whole Fayoum Governorate.

The club developed quickly and then moved its headquarters to the Lutfallah area, where there was enough space for sporting and social activities. In 1975, the club obtained its official sporting licence and its various teams started to compete in national and local competitions.

The football team has been among the most important ones in the club and has been highly appreciated and supported by the local authorities in Fayoum. The number of fans was growing steadily as the team advanced through the lower leagues to finally reach the Second Division, where it played most of the time.

Once promoted to the Egyptian Second Division, the club has remained at this level ever since, except for a brief period of two years (1991-1993), when they played in the Third Division, but gained promotion to the Second Division in 1993.

In the autumn of 2011, the club faced serious financial trouble and the club president Hussein Al-Sawy stepped down and was replaced by Medhat Sabri Al-Bakhbashi. The team was last in the classification when the competition was suspended in February 2012 due to the Port Said disaster. Luckily, no teams were relegated. Although the 2012-2013 season was also weak, the financial situation gradually improved and in the next years the team succeeded to classify in the upper half of the final table.

Another difficult financial situation occurred in winter and spring 2015, when players refused to train and even play because their salaries were not paid for three consecutive months. The situation was eventually solved. In November 2017, a new board of directors was elected for the 2017-2021 period. Ali Massoud Al-Jarhi was re-elected as the club president.

Between 2018 and 2020, the team became more involved in the fight to avoid relegation from the Second Division. Fayoum SC narrowly avoided relegation in 2018-2019 season, and was relegated at the end of the 2019-2020 season, only to be saved by the Egyptian FA decision to cancel relegation due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Managers have been changed quite often between 2018 and 2020, as seven managers were contracted in about two years.

In October 2020, U Sport became the new sponsor, and Ahmed Bakri became manager. After a fruitful transfer window, Fayoum SC competed better in the first part of the 2020-2021 season, but lost pace in the second half. Manager Ahmed Bakri was replaced by Saad Farouk in April 2021, with 9 rounds to go. Under Saad Farouk, the team had a successful run of 8 eight games undefeated, eventually finishing sixth.

In July 2021, after the end of the 2020-2021 season, Saad Farouk left and Ramadan Ragab became the new manager. However, after just six rounds of the 2021-2022 season, Ramadan Ragab left, citing the financial problems within the club as the main reason for his departure. Sayed Sobhi became manager in November 2021, and had some very good results in the first part of the season, but the team declined in the second part of the season, and he was replaced by Ahmed Abdel-Ghani in April 2022, whose task was to avoid relegation. Fayoum SC finished ninth, a few points above the relegation line.

In September 2022, Al Rowad Sports Investment Company was announced as the new sponsor of the team for the 2022-2023 season. In November 2022, after four winless rounds, Ahmed Abdel-Ghani was replaced by Khaled Eino. The results did not improve consistently, so Ahmed Farouk was appointed manager in February 2023, only to be replaced in April 2023 by Issam Khairallah. Despite all these changes, Fayoum SC had a very poor second half of the season, and former sporting director Mohamed Abdel Jalil took over as manager in June 2023, to save the team from the bottom position and relegation to the Third Division. However, Fayoum SC were relegated to the Second Division B, a newly-created third tier, along with all the teams classified below the sixth place.

Sayed Sobhi was appointed once again manager of the team in August 2023. The team was undefeated in the first half of the 2023-2024 season.

Honours

The club spent many years in the Second Division but has never managed to achieve promotion to the Premier League or at least to play the promotion play-offs. Their best result in the league was the fourth place achieved in the unofficial 2013-2014 season or the fifth place achieved in several occasions in official seasons (2010-2011, 2014-2015, 2015-2016). In the Egyptian FA Cup, they reached for four times the round of last 32 when they played against Premier League sides: in 2009-2010 (when they lost at home 1-0 to Zamalek), 2011-2012 (when they lost 2-1 away to Wadi Degla), 2015-2016 (when they lost 1-0 away to El Dakhleya) and 2016-2017 (when they lost 2-0 away to ENPPI).

In 1992-1993, they won their group in the Third Division, gaining promotion to the Second Division.

 

Stadium

 

The home ground was usually Fayoum Stadium, a multi-purpose facility having a capacity of 20,000 seats, which was shared with other teams in the city of Fayoum, notably Misr Lel-Makkasa (also spelled Misr Elmaqasah).

However, since November 2017 Fayoum Stadium has undergone major upgrading works financed by the Ministry of Youth and Sports and has been closed for football matches. Therefore, between 2017 and 2023 Fayoum SC played its home games at Alassiouty Sport Resort Stadium, which is located in between Fayoum and Beni Suef, near the main road that follows up the Nile from Cairo to Asyut. It has only one stand (all-seater) with a capacity for about 1,000 spectators.

In October 2023, just a few days prior to the start of the 2023-2024 season, it was announced that Fayoum SC will use the Police Academy (Ittihad El Shorta) Stadium in Abbassia, a neighbourhood of the capital city of Cairo, as their home ground this season. The Police Academy Stadium has a capacity of 18,000 spectators and is shared with other teams, notably El Dakhleya and Ittihad El Shorta.

 

Crest

 

The club crest has been slightly updated in 2021. The club bears a crest which is partly inspired from that of the Fayoum Governorate, which gives the name to the club and has supported the club ever since.

The crest has a round shape. In the center, it has an orange half-round waterwheel in the upper half, and a yellow half-round brick wall in the lower half, reflecting the sun in the upper-central part, while the shape of the blue Qarun Lake lies below, fed by canals. These are the main symbols of the Fayoum Governerate. They are surrounded by a green ringed laurel wreath, interrupted in the middle (left and right) by the shape of two red human bodies appearing to be based on the lower part and to support the upper part of the wreath. All these are drawn against a white background, which is surrounded by an outer green ring, bearing the name of the club, Fayoum Governorate Club, written in Arabic in the upper part, and in English in the lower part. On both sides, there are identical golden stars right in the middle, separating the upper and middle parts.

The former crest (before 2021) was very similar, but lacked the outer green ring with the name of the club on it. Sometimes the name of the club was written in Arabic below the crest.

An even older crest of FC Fayoum consisted of a white-and-black ball of football surrounded by a green double-ringed laurel wreath, opened up above and supported by a red ribbon bearing the name of the club in white capital letters. This crest is mistakenly in use by some football websites.

Several alternative crests were published by an unofficial Facebook page related to the club. They are similar in content, using just green and white, and interchanging the colours. In this variant, there is a single green laurel wreath, the crest and flag of Egypt is at the top, while the club acronym FSC, written with Latin letters, is at the base. It encircles an outer dark green ring, which in the upper part bears the inscription EST 1951. EGYPT, related to the year of the team foundation and its location in Egypt, while the name of the club, FAYOUM SPORTING CLUB, is written in the lower part, all in capital letters and using Latin characters. The inner light green circle includes the name of the club in white Arabic letters in the upper part and some of the symbols of Fayoum Governorate in the middle: an agricultural wheel partly covered in the lower part by the white shape of Qarun Lake.

 

Kit colours

 

The main colour of the club is red and they have used full red kits or a combination of red and another colour (mainly black or white) most of the times throughout their history. Full red kits are used in 2023-2024.

Red kits with some black on the shirts have been used as the main (home) kits in several seasons, for instance in 2019-2020 and 2022-2023. The 2021-2022 full red kits included black on the sides of the shirts.

For the 2020-2021 season, the main (home) kits involved mainly red shirts (with some white on the shoulders), white shorts and red socks. Similar kits had been also used in the past, either as the main ones or as the alternative ones.

However, the second club colour is green, which is also the colour of Fayoum Governorate. These kits sometimes involved green in combination with another colour (mainly black or white). Full green kits were used in 2022-2023 as an alternative, mainly away, but they were also used at home in some occasions. Similar full green kits have been used for many years for away games and were also used as the main (home) kits, for instance in the 2018-2019 season.

For the 2021-2022 season, green kits were again used regularly as the main (home) kits, but they included white sleeves and white sides on the shirts. The 2017-2018 home kit involved green and black vertically-striped shirts, black shorts and green socks.

There have been many other colours used for alternative kits. Blue kits in combination with some white have been consistently used as the third alternative throughout the years, and sometimes as a second choice, especially in away games. For the 2020-2021 season, the alternative (away) kits consisted of light blue shirts, white shorts and green socks.

In the 2018-2019 season, a new alternative kit was used, with electric yellow greenish shirts and black shorts. Other colours have been also used occasionally, such as black or white.

The current kit sponsors are Nike (since September 2021). Former kit sponsors included Adidas, Kelme, Kappa, and Errea.

The shirt main sponsor has been Sphinx SC since September 2023, written on the front of the shirts. Between November 2020 and June 2022, the shirts wore the name of the former main sponsor, U Sport. Before 2020, the team rarely had any shirt sponsors. In 2022-2023, there were no sponsors mentioned on the shirts.
