Ceramica Cleopatra FC: Football Club Guide to the Gold & Blood of Giza

Ceramica Cleopatra FC is an Egyptian Premier League football club from Giza, owned by the Cleopatra Group ceramics company and founded in 2007, although some reports give the year as 2006. They play at Suez Canal Authority Stadium, a ground of about 22,000, and they won the Egyptian League Cup in 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25. South African supporters may know football as soccer; Ceramica's identity centres on a relatively young Egyptian club with ceramics industry roots.

Ceramica Cleopatra's company name gives Nigerian, Ghanaian, Ugandan, Kenyan and South African audiences a familiar route into the club's story. Here, the connection is ceramics: the Cleopatra Group's business identity sits alongside the club's climb through Egypt's divisions. That journey from the Third Division to the Premier League in five seasons gives supporters across our five nations a starting point for exploring the squad, coaching appointments and Egyptian football.

Who Are Ceramica Cleopatra FC, the Gold & Blood?

Ceramica Cleopatra are a Giza club built and owned by the Cleopatra Group, an Egyptian ceramics business, and their nickname is listed as Gold & Blood. The founder and chairman is Mohamed Abou El Enein, who also heads the group, so the football club and the company share the same man at the top. You will see the side written as Ceramica Cleopatra, Cleopatra FC or simply Ceramica on scorelines, and every version means the same team. Their defining story is that of a company club progressing through the divisions, with promotions in 2015-16 and 2019-20 taking them towards Egypt's top flight.

Open the Ceramica Cleopatra fixtures list for match dates, competition names and kick off conversions covering WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT. Completed matches receive their scores in the results module. The Egyptian Premier League table, also called the log in South Africa, provides the standings as results are recorded.

How Is the Ceramica Cleopatra Squad Set Out?

The Ceramica Cleopatra squad module lists the players by position, with shirt numbers and nationalities, and it refreshes whenever the club registers a change. The head coach is named in the club details module beside it, because coaching appointments in Egypt can move quickly and a name written into prose would soon be out of date. Ceramica's nationality column lets supporters seek Ghanaian, Ugandan, Nigerian, South African or Kenyan representation among Egyptian teammates and footballers from elsewhere on the continent. Registered squad details establish those connections for this season and help readers identify familiar names.

What Have Ceramica Cleopatra Won?

Ceramica Cleopatra's major honour is the Egyptian League Cup, which they won in 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25, three straight editions. The League Cup is a knockout competition for Egyptian Premier League clubs, separate from the Egypt Cup, and those three victories followed the club's Third Division group title in 2015-16. Together, those dated achievements trace Ceramica's progress from promotion football to top flight cup success.

Below the top flight, the club also earned its promotions the hard way, finishing first in its Third Division group in 2015-16 and topping Group B of the Second Division in 2019-20. Those promotion campaigns and the League Cup victories in 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 provide fixed milestones for understanding the Gold & Blood's history.

From Giza to the Premier League: The History in Brief

Ceramica Cleopatra were founded in Giza by Mohamed Abou El Enein and the Cleopatra Group, and the year is recorded as 2007 in encyclopaedia records, while other reports give 2006. Both dates appear in coverage of the club, so the safest way to say it is founded in 2007, with some sources putting it a year earlier. That small gap matters to anyone writing an anniversary piece, but it changes nothing about the story, which is one of steady climbing through the Egyptian pyramid of divisions.

The climb began in earnest when the club won its Third Division group in 2015-16 and moved up to the Second Division for 2016-17. Then came the defining night, a draw reported on 15 October 2020 that clinched top place in Group B of the 2019-20 Second Division and sent Ceramica Cleopatra into the Egyptian Premier League for the first time. Their debut season in 2020-21 ended in 10th place, and later seasons brought 13th in 2022-23 and 8th in 2023-24, alongside those League Cup wins.

Where Do Ceramica Cleopatra Play?

That capacity offers readers across our five nations a sense of the ground's scale: a club stadium with room for thousands of supporters around the pitch. Venues in Egyptian football can change for particular fixtures, so the safest habit is to check the venue line on each match in the fixtures module rather than assume. That small check matters most for travelling supporters following their own club to Egypt for a continental tie.

Which Ceramica Cleopatra Games Matter Most, and What Time Do They Kick Off?

Ceramica Cleopatra's Egyptian League Cup triumphs in 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 make cup fixtures a natural part of following the club.

A Ceramica meeting with Kenyan, Ghanaian, South African, Ugandan or Nigerian opposition gives supporters of that visiting club a direct connection to the Giza side.

Ceramica supporters can convert an Egyptian start using a winter offset of two hours ahead of GMT or a summer offset of three. A Ceramica fixture starting at 21:00 Egyptian winter time reaches Nigerian screens at 20:00 WAT, Kenyan and Ugandan screens at 22:00 EAT, South African screens at 21:00 SAST and Ghanaian screens at 19:00 GMT. With Egypt's summer clock in use, that 21:00 start becomes 19:00 WAT for Nigeria, 21:00 EAT for Kenya and Uganda, 20:00 SAST for South Africa and 18:00 GMT for Ghana.
