The club was founded in 1935 as a group of Ismailia born contractors formed a football team calling it "Badran Club". In 1948 the club members succeeded to convince the board of the Suez Canal company to merge the Badran club with the company to form "El Qanah" with the Frenchman Paul Blan as a president to take part in the league.
