This article is about the men's team. For the women's team, see Wadi Degla SC (women).
Wadi Degla Sporting Club (Arabic: نادي وادي دجلة الرياضي) is an Egyptian sports club known for its football team who currently play in Egyptian Second Division A. The club is related to Wadi Degla Holding, a construction company established in 1994.
In 2009–10 Egyptian Second Division, Wadi Degla made history. The team defeated El-Sekka El-Hadid 3–1 in the last week of the competition to seal promotion to the highest level of football in Egypt, Egyptian Premier League, for the first time in its history. It took Wadi Degla only one season to gain promotion from the second division to the Premier League. This is a historical achievement that was only reached once before by Al-Mokawloon Al-Arab (a.k.a. Arab Contractors) in 1981.
