Description

The Egyptian Premier League (Egyptian Arabic: الدوري المصري الممتاز), commonly known as El Dawry (Egyptian Arabic: الدوري), and officially known as the ORA League (Egyptian Arabic: دوري أورا) for sponsorship reasons, is a professional association football league in Egypt and the highest level of the Egyptian football league system. The league comprises 20 teams and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Egyptian Second Division A. Seasons mostly run from August to May.

The Egyptian Premier League was founded in 1948, unifying the local leagues that existed previously. 70 clubs have competed in the league since its founding. Al Ahly have won the title 45 times, more than any other club. Their closest rivals, Zamalek, have won the league 15 times. Only five other clubs have won the league; those clubs are Ghazl El Mahalla, Ismaily, Al Mokawloon Al Arab, Olympic Club, and Tersana.

The Egyptian Premier League is one of the top national leagues, ranked First in Africa according to CAF's 5-year ranking for the 2024–25 season, based on performances in African competitions over the past five seasons. Egyptian teams have won the CAF Champions League a record 18 times, and Al Ahly was named the African Club of the Century by CAF. Two clubs have also won the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Egyptian Premier League once had among highest average stadium attendance in Africa and the Middle East until the Port Said Stadium riot occurred on 1 February 2012 after a league match involving Al Masry and Al Ahly, where 74 people were killed and more than 500 were injured. Since that date, all domestic football matches were played behind closed doors until 2017, when the local security authorities started to allow fans to attend selected matches with gradually increasing numbers starting from 100 attendance only and in 2021, the league started to welcome back thousands of supporters.
