Best places around Alexandria Stadium after Al Ittihad’s win
A proper Alexandria matchday starts at the stadium, but it should not end there
Al Ittihad of Alexandria’s 1-0 win over Asyut Petroleum on 7 September 2026 gave the city exactly the kind of early-season night it loves: a home result, one decisive goal, and a reason to keep the evening going after full time. FilGoal recorded the match at Alexandria Stadium with kickoff at 5:00pm, and listed Nour Alaa El Din as the scorer in the 74th minute. The same match page showed Al Ittihad moving to 7 points from 4 matches, while Asyut Petroleum stayed on 2 points. Ahram Online’s fixture list also placed the game on the Egyptian Premier League’s fourth matchday schedule for 7 September 2026.
That matters because Alexandria Stadium is one of those grounds where the post-match plan comes naturally. The stadium is in Moharram Bey, and Alexandria’s own governorate portal places it on 110 El Horreya Avenue (Fouad Street). From there, a real matchday night opens up fast: old downtown cafés, classic pastry institutions, dinner spots on or around Fouad Street, and a short hop to some of central Alexandria’s best-known cultural landmarks.
Where to eat after the final whistle
1) Délices for a classic downtown Alexandria dessert-and-coffee stop
If you want the most old-school Alexandria move possible after a stadium night, head toward Délices (@delicesgroup on Instagram) in Raml Station. Its official site says the flagship is at 46 Saad Zaghloul Street, open daily from 8:00am to 1:00am. That makes it ideal when the match ends and you still want somewhere central, recognisable and genuinely Alexandrian rather than a generic chain.
Délices is not just convenient; it is part of the city’s food memory. The company states it was established in 1922 and remains run by the same Greek family. It also notes that it baked King Farouk’s coronation cake in 1937 and his royal wedding cake in 1938. In practical terms, that means this is the stop for coffee, mille-feuille, baklava, cake and a slower end to the night once the adrenaline from the match wears off.
2) Trianon for a sit-down café meal with Alexandria heritage
Trianon is another smart post-match choice when your group wants more than a quick sweet bite. The restaurant’s official website presents it as an Alexandria institution dating to 1905, with café, restaurant and pâtisserie service across the city. Its brand identity is built around exactly what many fans want after football: familiar food, dessert, coffee and a setting that still feels tied to Alexandria rather than interchangeable with anywhere else.
Because Alexandria Stadium sits on the Fouad Street axis, a move from the ground to central café territory is easy to imagine on a real matchday. Trianon works especially well for mixed groups: the friend who wants coffee, the uncle who wants a proper dish, and the cousin who wants dessert before heading home.
3) Chez Gaby au Ritrovo if the plan is pizza and pasta, not just snacks
For fans turning the night into a fuller dinner, Chez Gaby au Ritrovo is one of Alexandria’s long-established Italian names. A published profile on the venue notes its Alexandria address as 22 El Horreya Street, which keeps it very much in the same central city orbit as the stadium and Fouad Street. That makes it a credible post-match dinner stop if your idea of celebration is pizza, pasta and a longer table rather than a takeaway sandwich on the move.
This is the kind of place that fits a winning night naturally: not flashy for the sake of it, but rooted in the city’s older dining culture. If Al Ittihad win and the group wants to keep talking about the goal, the substitutions and the table, this is the style of place where the conversation can breathe.
4) Alexandria’s fast, easy classics around Raml Station
Not every football night needs a formal meal. Alexandria’s governorate restaurant listings still place several practical central options around the broader Raml Station and downtown area, including long-familiar local names. That is useful if your real priority is simple: eat quickly, stay central and keep the night moving. Around this part of town, the best post-match strategy is often to follow the local rhythm rather than over-plan it: grilled dishes, fuul and taameya, shawarma, or a quick café table before the tram-and-taxi rush thins out.
Where to go around Alexandria Stadium after eating
Walk the Fouad Street and downtown axis
The simplest answer is also the most authentic one: walk central Alexandria. Because Alexandria Stadium is anchored on El Horreya Avenue/Fouad Street, the area around it feeds naturally into the city’s older downtown fabric. After a 5:00pm kickoff, you still have enough evening left to turn the match into a full city outing rather than a stadium-in, stadium-out visit.
For Alexandria readers, this is the core of a real matchday night: leave the ground, replay Nour Alaa El Din’s winner, then drift into downtown for coffee, pastry or dinner while the city is still busy.
Kom El-Dikka for culture close to the stadium zone
If you are planning a broader Alexandria day around a future match, Kom El-Dikka is one of the best nearby heritage stops to pair with Alexandria Stadium. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities describes it as one of the city’s most important archaeological sites, including the famous Roman theatre, mosaic-floored houses, baths and remains from the Roman and Byzantine periods. Official opening hours are listed as 9:00am to 5:00pm daily, with Egyptian ticket prices of EGP 20 for adults and EGP 10 for students.
That means it is more of a pre-match or next-day addition than a late-night one, but it belongs in any serious guide to the stadium area because it reinforces what makes this part of Alexandria special: football, layered history and downtown life all within the same city centre stretch.
The Graeco-Roman Museum for a matchday weekend plan
The Graeco-Roman Museum is another strong nearby cultural anchor if the football trip becomes a full Alexandria itinerary. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities lists visiting hours as 9:00am to 5:00pm from Sunday to Thursday and 9:00am to 8:00pm on Friday and Saturday. Ticket prices are listed at EGP 40 for Egyptian adults and EGP 20 for students. The museum is one of Alexandria’s major institutions and, according to the official site, the only museum dedicated specifically to Egypt’s Greek and Roman-era heritage.
For weekend fixtures especially, this is an easy editorial combination: museum by day, stadium by evening, dessert downtown after the final whistle.
How to build the ideal post-match itinerary
- Quick version: leave Alexandria Stadium, head into central Alexandria, and make it a coffee-and-dessert night at Délices.
- Classic version: do dinner first around Fouad Street or central downtown, then finish at a heritage café like Trianon.
- Full Alexandria version: visit Kom El-Dikka or the Graeco-Roman Museum earlier in the day, watch Al Ittihad in Moharram Bey, then carry on into Raml Station for food.
The verdict
After Al Ittihad Alexandria 1-0 Asyut Petroleum on 7 September 2026, the best matchday night is not complicated. Start with the football, respect the city centre geography, and stay local. Alexandria Stadium’s position on the Fouad Street axis gives you access to some of the city’s most enduring food institutions and easiest downtown outings. On a night decided by Nour Alaa El Din’s 74th-minute goal, the right move is to keep the celebration unmistakably Alexandrian: coffee in a historic café, dessert in Raml Station, and a walk through the city centre that still knows how to turn a home win into a full evening.
