Football (soccer) is the de facto national sport of Egypt. Egyptian Soccer clubs El Ahly and El Zamalek are the two most popular teams and enjoy the reputation of long-time champions of the sport regionally. The great rivalries keep the streets of Egypt energized as with each win the people fill the streets when their favourite teams win. Squash and tennis are other close favorites among Egyptians. The Egyptian Squash team has been known for its fierce competition in world-wide championships since the 1930s. Egypt is rich in soccer history as soccer has been around for over 100 years. The country is home to many African championships such as the African cup of dreams. However, the Egyptian soccer has shown poor performance in the last 15 years, especially on the international level. The national team has not qualified to FIFA World Cup since 1990, and in a recent friendly match to mark the Egyptian club's centenary, El Ahly team was defeated 4-0 against Spanish club team Barcelona.
