About this list

A player looking for rapid has a choice on both banks of the Nile. In Cairo, Wadi Degla Chess Academy played a Super League rapid championship in September 2026, the Heliopolis Sporting Club holds its international rapid, the 6th of October Club a Ramadan rapid, and the federation’s International Egypt Champions series moves its rapid editions between halls.

In Giza, the Haram Sigma tournaments are rapid events on Fridays with a printed entry fee, Golden Knight and then Golden Nine keep Friday rapids of their own, and Nova X mixed rapid with blitz and classical in the spring and summer of 2026. Dokki ran rapid, blitz and classical open events in early 2025 before its league season. Each entry links to the tournament pages its dates come from.
