Modern Sport Football Club (Arabic: نادي مودرن سبورت لكرة القدم), formerly known as Modern Future FC, Future FC and Coca-Cola FC, is an Egyptian professional football club based in Cairo, Egypt. The club plays in the Egyptian Premier League, the highest league in the Egyptian football league system.
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 £E80 million (approximately €4 million), and renamed the club to Future FC.3 In their first season in the Premier League, Future finished 5th in the league but still qualified to the CAF Confederation Cup as the league was not finished by the CAF deadline. In the Confederation Cup, the club were eliminated in the group stage due to a mistake in Ahmed Refaat registration; hence, their results were ruled forfeited in all matches in which this player participated.
In the 2022–23 season, Future managed to win the inaugural Egyptian League Cup after a 5–1 win over Ghazl El Mahalla in the final. Meanwhile, they finished fourth in the league to qualify to the Confederation Cup for the second consecutive season.
In August 2023, the club had new ownership and was renamed to Modern Future FC ahead of the 2023–24 season.4 On 2 July 2024, it was officially announced that the club had changed its name to Modern Sport FC, after receiving approval from all relevant official authorities and was sanctioned by the Egyptian Olympic Committee's as published on 27 May earlier that year.5
