On 28 April 2010, Smouha became the first team to secure a promotion seat to the 2010–11 Egyptian Premier League.
It earned promotion after a 2-0 win against Wadi El Gedid FC at home ground.
On the other hand, Al-Sekka Al-Hadid, the oldest club in the Middle East, failed to avoid relegation to the Egyptian Third Division.
Gomhoreyat Shepin, the team with the fewest points among the three, relegated directly to Third Division, while a play-off match was scheduled to be played on May 19 at Sekka El Hadeed Stadium in Cairo between Banha and Suez Cement.
The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Suez Cement, so Banha joined both Gomhoreyat Shepin and Al-Sekka Al-Hadid to the Third Division.
