Pyramids

Al Assiouty Sport

The club was formed as Al Assiouty Sport in Beni Suef in 2008. The club was promoted to the Egyptian Premier League for the first time in 2014, but finished 19th and were relegated in their first season. They won Group A of the Second Division in 2016–17 and were promoted back to the Premier League.

Pyramids FC era: 2018–present

In the summer of 2018, the Chairman of the Saudi Sports Authority Turki Al-Sheikh bought Al Assiouty Sport. The team's name was changed to Pyramids FC, and the club moved from Beni Suef to Cairo. Hossam El-Badry was announced as chairman of the club, Ahmed Hassan as spokesman and football team supervisor, Hady Khashaba as football director and former Botafogo coach Alberto Valentim as the new manager.

In their first season under the new name, Pyramids finished the 2018–19 Egyptian Premier League in third place, qualifying for the 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup, and reached the 2019 Egypt Cup Final, where they lost 3–0 to Zamalek. In July 2019, the Emirati businessman Salem Al Shamsi acquired the ownership of the club.

First participation in African tournaments (2020–present)

Competing in a continental tournament for the first time, Pyramids reached the final of the 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup despite starting the competition in its preliminary rounds. After beating Étoile du Congo, CR Belouizdad, and Young Africans in the qualifiers they went on to top their group in the First Round, containing Enugu Rangers, FC Nouadhibou, and Al-Masry, winning all bar one of their games. In the quarter-final they beat Zanaco 3–1 over two legs, and then won 1–0 against Horoya in the semi-final. In the final, held in Rabat, they lost 1–0 to Moroccan side RS Berkane. In the league, Pyramids again finished third, in a season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, again qualifying for the following season's CAF Confederation Cup.

On 25 December 2023, in the Egyptian Super Cup semi-final, Pyramids lost on penalty kicks to Modern Future, failing to achieve their first championship. On 30 August 2024, the club achieved their first-ever title following a 1–0 win over ZED in the 2024 Egypt Cup final.

African glory (2025)

In the 2024–25 season, Pyramids FC topped the regular season standings but ultimately finished second in the Championship play-offs, with Al-Ahly claiming the top spot. On April 25, 2025, they made history by reaching the Champions League final for the first time, overcoming South African side Orlando Pirates with a 3–2 aggregate victory. They went on to claim their maiden CAF Champions League title by defeating another South African club, Mamelodi Sundowns, also with a 3–2 aggregate score.
