History

The club was owned by the Egyptian branch of The Coca-Cola Company since its establishment in 2011 until 2021.[1] Coca-Cola's last season under that name witnessed their promotion to the 2021–22 Egyptian Premier League for the first time in their history, as they finished top of their group in the 2020–21 Egyptian Second Division.[2]

On 2 September 2021, Future company for sports investments announced the acquisition of the club for a reported fee of 80 million LE (approximately 4 million €), and renamed the club to Future FC.[3]
