Alexandria Stadium Matchday Guide for Ittihad Fans
After Ittihad’s win, build the day around the ground
Al Ittihad Alexandria gave Seyed El-Balad supporters a result worth savoring on Tuesday, 15 September 2026, beating Al Masry 2-0 in the Egyptian Premier League. Ahram Online’s round-up listed the goals as a 58th-minute own goal by Baher El-Mohamady and a 90+5 strike by John Okoye Ebuka. That kind of home-city football moment is exactly why a proper Alexandria matchday should be more than the 90 minutes.
For local fans, the practical anchor is Alexandria Stadium in Moharram Bey. The Alexandria Governorate’s official portal describes it as the official stadium of Al Ittihad and places it in the Muharram Bey area, making it the natural starting point for a pre-game plan that stretches from downtown coffee to post-match seafood on the coast.
Why Alexandria Stadium still shapes the city’s football rhythm
Alexandria Stadium is not just another ground. Wikimedia Commons data for the venue lists its opening year as 1929, while the Alexandria Governorate identifies it as a central city stadium tied to Al Ittihad. In practical terms, that means matchday here feels urban and close-knit: you are not planning a far-flung desert-stadium trip, but a route through classic Alexandria neighborhoods.
That is the biggest advantage for fans. You can start in central Alexandria, have coffee at one of the city’s old institutions, head to Moharram Bey for the match, then finish with fish and seafood on the Corniche or in Bahary.
Best pre-game café stops before heading to Moharram Bey
1) Délices, Raml Station
If you want a classic Alexandria start, Délices is one of the strongest options. The company’s official site says its flagship is at 46 Saad Zaghloul Street, Raml Station and traces the business back to 1922. For a matchday plan, that makes it ideal for an earlier meetup over coffee, viennoiserie or a light dessert before you move west toward the stadium.
Why it works for fans: Raml Station is still one of the easiest meeting points in the city, and Délices gives your day a distinctly Alexandrian feel rather than a generic chain-coffee stop.
2) Trianon, Raml Station
Another heritage choice is Trianon, whose official website presents it as a longstanding Alexandria landmark and lists its Raml Station location at 52 Saad Zaghloul Street. If your group likes a sit-down start with a little more old-Alexandria atmosphere, Trianon is a smart stop before the rush of kickoff.
For many supporters, the ideal sequence is simple: meet in Raml, grab coffee and something light, then call a ride to Moharram Bey rather than trying to make the stadium area your first and only stop.
3) Brazilian Coffee, Saad Zaghloul Street
The Alexandria Governorate’s restaurant and café directory lists Brazilian Coffee at 44 Saad Zaghloul Street. That places it in the same downtown cluster as Délices and Trianon, which is useful for fans who want options within a short walk of one another. If one café is busy on matchday, you still have a compact downtown circuit to work with.
What to eat before the match
Before a game at Alexandria Stadium, the smartest move is usually to keep it light. Coffee, bottled water, and something quick from downtown make more sense than a heavy seafood feast right before kickoff. Alexandria’s old central cafés are better suited to the pre-match mood, especially if you are meeting friends, checking team news, and arriving at the ground comfortably rather than in a rush.
- Best for coffee and atmosphere: Délices or Trianon in Raml Station.
- Best for flexible group meetups: the Saad Zaghloul Street café cluster, where several classic venues sit close together.
- Best for families: sit-down downtown cafés before heading by car to the stadium.
Best post-match seafood stops after Alexandria Stadium
Once the final whistle goes, that is when Alexandria should taste like Alexandria. The city’s official restaurant listings point fans toward the coast and the western harbor side for seafood rather than the immediate stadium streets.
1) Fish Market, beside the Scout Club on El Corniche
The Alexandria Governorate directory lists Fish Market on El Corniche Road beside the Scout Club. That makes it one of the clearest post-match options if you want a recognisable Corniche seafood stop with a view-oriented setting after the game.
It suits fans who want the full post-match routine: debrief the result, order fish or mixed seafood, and stay near the sea rather than going straight home.
2) Kadoura, Bahary
Kadoura is one of the best-known seafood names in Alexandria. The Alexandria Governorate’s directory lists its Bahary branch at 47 26 Yolu El Kornesh Street, while Egypt Yellow Pages also lists Kadoura in Bahary. For Seyed El-Balad fans, this is a strong option if you want a more destination-style seafood meal after the match rather than a quick bite.
Bahary also fits the mood after a big result: it feels properly Alexandrian, busy, coastal and rooted in the city’s fishing-and-harbor identity.
3) Samakmak, Anfushi
The same Alexandria Governorate directory lists Samakmak at 42 Kasr Ras El Teen Street, Anfushi. This is another sensible stop if your post-match route takes you toward the old harbor side. It is especially handy for supporters who want to combine dinner with an evening drive through Anfushi and Ras El Teen.

Why this is the right Alexandria guide for Seyed El-Balad supporters
The key to a good Ittihad matchday is not pretending the stadium district alone does everything. The real Alexandria experience comes from linking Moharram Bey with Raml Station, the Corniche, Bahary and Anfushi. After a notable league win like the 2-0 result over Al Masry on 15 September 2026, that route gives fans the right balance: coffee before the game, football in the city’s historic stadium, then seafood by the sea afterward.
That is the version of Alexandria matchday that feels true to the club and true to the city: old cafés, a central stadium, and a post-match table full of fish, tahini, bread and animated football talk long after the goals have gone in.
