Al Ahram Al Riyadi

Al Ahram Al Riyadi is an Arabic-language weekly sports magazine published in Cairo, Egypt. The title began circulation in 1990 and is dedicated to sports news and related coverage. It operates within the Al Ahram Organisation, one of Egypt’s established publishing groups, whose portfolio also includes the Al Ahram newspaper and several specialist and international affairs publications. The magazine’s core editorial proposition is regular sports reporting for an Egyptian readership. Available reference material identifies sports news as its principal focus, but does not provide a detailed breakdown of its sections, sports-by-sport coverage, circulation strategy, digital products, or commercial positioning. The publication is therefore best characterized as a newspaper-group sports periodical rather than as a standalone sports media company. Its association with Al Ahram gives it an institutional publishing context and places it alongside titles such as Al Ahram Weekly, Al Siyassa Al Dawliya, Al Ahram Al Arabi, and Al Ahram Al Iktisadi. The title has had several known editorial leaders. Anwar Abdrabou and Ibrahim Hegazi are identified as former editors-in-chief. Khaled Tawheed was appointed editor-in-chief on 28 June 2014, and Muhammad Shabana Abdulaziz Badawi was named to the position in September 2020. These changes mark documented transitions in editorial leadership, although the available sources do not establish the current editor-in-chief after the 2020 appointment. The magazine reportedly sold approximately 650,000 copies in 2000. This figure is a historical circulation reference rather than a current performance measure; no later circulation, revenue, subscription, or advertising data is provided in the available material. The official website is hosted under the Al Ahram domain, but the supplied sources do not describe the extent of its online publishing, its relationship with the print edition, or the availability of digital subscriptions. Al Ahram Al Riyadi’s documented identity is consequently that of a long-running Egyptian weekly sports magazine with an Arabic editorial voice and an institutional connection to the Al Ahram publishing organisation. Further research would be needed to document its current publication status, present editorial management, detailed product architecture, audience metrics, and recent editorial or business developments.

Al Ahram Al Riyadi was first published in 1990 as an Arabic-language weekly sports magazine based in Cairo, Egypt. It was established as part of the publishing activities of the Al Ahram Organisation, the group associated with the Al Ahram newspaper and a range of other periodicals. The magazine’s stated editorial focus is sports news, making it a specialist title within the organisation’s broader newspaper and magazine portfolio. The publication’s place within Al Ahram is significant to its identity. Rather than being documented as an independent sports publisher, it is presented as one of several titles issued by the organisation. Other publications associated with the same group include Al Ahram Weekly, Al Siyassa Al Dawliya, Al Ahram Al Arabi, Al Ahram Al Iktisadi, and Al Ahram. The available references do not specify the magazine’s launch rationale, founding editor, initial business model, or the precise relationship between its editorial and administrative operations and the wider organisation. A historical circulation figure provides some indication of the title’s reach: Al Ahram Al Riyadi reportedly sold 650,000 copies in 2000. The figure belongs to that year and should not be interpreted as a current circulation estimate. No later audited circulation, subscription, advertising, revenue, or readership figures are supplied in the reference material. The magazine has experienced documented changes in editorial leadership. Anwar Abdrabou and Ibrahim Hegazi are listed as former editors-in-chief. On 28 June 2014, Khaled Tawheed was appointed editor-in-chief. In September 2020, Muhammad Shabana Abdulaziz Badawi was named to the same role. The sources do not establish how long each editor served beyond these appointment references, nor do they identify the current editor-in-chief. Al Ahram Al Riyadi maintains an official web presence at ryadi.ahram.org.eg. The supplied material identifies the website but does not describe its current publishing frequency, archive, multimedia output, or whether it functions as a digital counterpart to the print weekly. Consequently, the documented historical profile remains centered on the Arabic weekly magazine and its sports-news mandate. Additional primary or current sources would be required to establish its present print status, digital strategy, editorial staff, and market performance.
