In 2009–10, it was promoted to the Egyptian Premier League for the first time in its history.
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.[2][3] It took Wadi Degla only one season to promote 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.[2]
Wadi Degla has a large youth football academy.[4] It is a similar project to that of ASEC Mimosas. The club has a close relationship with England's Arsenal Football Club.[5]
