El Qanah Football Club (Arabic: نادى القناة الرياضي), also known as Canal SC or Suez Canal, is a football club based in Ismailia, Egypt. They compete in the Egyptian Premier League, following promotion in 2025–26.
The club was founded in 1935 when a group of Ismailia-born contractors formed a football team, calling it "Badran Club". In 1948 the club members convinced 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 president, to take part in the league. The club was promoted to the Egyptian Premier League for the 1953–54 season, and played for 27 seasons in the top flight.[citation needed]
The club achieved the 2025–26 Egyptian Second Division A, securing promotion to the Egyptian Premier League.
