History
The club was founded in 1938 under the name AS Bilima. After the independence of the country from Belgium in June 1960, the team developed into a leading Club, which was proved when it won its first championship in 1965. Subsequently, a domination between the trio AS Vita Club, Imana Kinshasa and Tout Puissant Mazembe developed which was hard to break. 1969 the congolese businessman
FAR Rabatt was too strong. In the 1990s the club was named Amicale Sportive Bilima, simply AS Bilima and won for several times the Coupe du Congo. But however the team couldn't tie on the former achievements. Later the businessman Edouard Mwe di Malila Apenela left the title of president to pass on the control to others. He remain in the club as donator and as the president of the supreme committee. Currently Lili Lumande is the president of the club.[2][3]
