Ismaily's long stay in the Egyptian Premier League came to an ​end on Tuesday after a 2-1 defeat at Wadi Degla confirmed their relegation to the second division, Reuters reported. 

The three-time Egyptian champions, who escaped the drop last season only after the ​Egyptian Pro League cancelled relegation, failed to survive ​this time and remained bottom of the four-team ⁠relegation group with 19 points.
