Al Masry Sporting Club was founded on 18 March 1920, and 1920 marks the start of a century-long identity for the side from Port Said, who today compete in the Egyptian Premier League. The club is mainly known for its football team and local passion, and Walkouts features signed football shirts that reflect both match heritage and fan culture from the city.
The team traditionally played home fixtures at the Port Said Stadium, a ground long associated with the club and its supporters, with a listed capacity of 17,988. That stadium remains central to provenance for match and event imagery used to verify signatures and match provenance for framed shirts.
On the pitch Al Masry have a modest honours list, most notably a single national cup success, the one Egyptian Cup won in 1998, a crest moment for collectors who chase cup-winning shirts and tournament wear. Shirts bearing that season’s details are often sought because they tie directly to a verified title.
Regionally the club has pushed into continental competition, reaching notable stages in CAF tournaments and appearing on international rankings; the side achieved a run to the CAF Confederation Cup semi-finals, a continental milestone often referenced by sellers and collectors. The club has also been listed by IFFHS at 177 in their club rankings, a contextual note collectors sometimes cite when describing relative prestige.
Anniversary releases after 1970 are not widely recorded for Al Masry, so collectors focus instead on specific campaigns and memorable runs. Key seasons that carry collector interest include 1998 for the Egypt Cup triumph, 2018 for the deep Confederation Cup run, and 2021 when Al Masry competed in the CAF Confederation Cup group phase, all of which appear in provenance notes and inventory lists.
For shirts off the pitch, fans actively collect both match-worn items and retail fanshop releases, but there is explicit demand for signed fanshop shirts, limited runs and player-issue variants sold in Port Said and regionally. Particular collector attention falls on the club’s away sets, notably the white away shirt used in CAF fixtures, and items that can be supported by exact photo proof of the signature or match context. Provenance tied to the Suez Canal derby and matches versus Ismaily increases interest for local collectors and archivists.
If you are researching or sourcing pieces, look for shirts linked to the 1998 Egypt Cup title and the 2018 Confederation Cup campaign, as those seasons produce the clearest provenance trails and photographic evidence from Port Said Stadium and continental ties. Walkouts lists authenticated pieces with condition notes and provenance where available, and Free worldwide shipping is offered for many items.
