Heliopolis Sporting Club

Heliopolis Sporting Club (Arabic: نادى هليوبوليس الرياضى,; pronounced as nādī Heliopolis al-reyādī) is an Egyptian sports club based in Heliopolis, Cairo. Founded in 1910, it is one of the country's largest sports clubs.

The Heliopolis Sporting Club was founded in Cairo on January 1, 1910, by the Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases Company, which managed the club until December 31, 1921. On January 1, 1922, the club members took over the management by a contract signed with the company.[citation needed]

The club was part of the newly-built Heliopolis suburb and was designed by Ernest Jaspar. Its activities included water polo, swimming, diving, squash, tennis, golf, cricket, hockey, bridge, bowling, football, handball, basketball, volleyball, speed ball, ballet, gymnastics, snooker, athletics, and different kinds of dancing.

In 1947, the area of the club was reduced to its present size after the company took back the land of the golf course. Golf was cancelled after the frequent objections of club members to the large expenses incurred by the game, which was not played by many members.

Heliopolis Sporting Club has another branch, in Shorouk city. The total area of the Shorouk branch is three times bigger than the main club in Heliopolis.
