Egyptian Premier League

Al-Ahly's opening game of the Egyptian Premier League 2009–10 was on August 6 against Ghazl El-Mehalla. Al-Ahly's coach Hossam El-Badry, who took over the club following the departure of Portuguese Manuel José at the end of the previous season, employed an unusual 4-4-2 formation. Despite the bad opening of the season in the super cup defeat against Haras El Hodood Al-Ahly beat Ghazl El-Mehalla 2-0. Ahmed Hassan made the opening score after 40 minutes and Francis Doe brought the score up to two 66 minutes into his Egyptian Premier League debut.[7] The next game was a narrow 2–1 win over Ittihad El-Shorta in an unbroadcast game on 19 August. Former Ahly player Ahmed Galal scored the first goal of the game after 31 minutes, but 4 minutes later Ahly's player Ahmed Hassan scored equalizing the score. In the second-half substitute Hussein Yasser scored Al-Ahly's second goal in the 80th minute to secure Ahly's second win of the season.[8]

On 23 August, Al-Ahly played their third match of the season against Haras El Hodood in a 1-1 draw, Haras El Hodood player Ahmed Salama scored the opener 69 minutes in and Ahmed Hassan scored the equalizer nine minutes later.[9]
