The history of

2015 CAF Champions League Final
The team landed to the second division of several times the first from 1965 to 1969 and, latest of which, the longest from 1990 to 1995.

Early years

In July 1935, Omar Aichoun and Mustapha Kaoui, both merchants of jute bags, decided to create an exclusively Muslim sports association in which no European would appear. At the time, the National Movement, led by Étoile Nord-Africaine of Emir Khalid ibn Hashim, grandson of Emir Abdelkader, ran out of steam while the creation of the PPA (Parti Politique Algérien), spiritual father, was organized. of the FLN, Aichoun and Kaoui, join the popular effervescence. They frequent the activists of the National Movement, many in the district of the Casbah and hear about the need to create sports clubs, the ideal framework to bring together Algerian youth. The increasingly seasoned national movement is pushing for the creation of sports associations.

Union sportive musulmane algéroise.

During the year 1935, the two men will multiply contacts, helped by Arezki Meddad, father of the future chahida Ourida Meddad. Their choice falls on Ali Lahmar, said Ali Zaid, future chahid of the liberation war and Sid Ahmed Kemmat. These men formed the first office of USMA, an office chaired by Ali Zaid, the honorary presidency going to Omar Aichoun and Arezki Meddad. In addition to their nationalist and sporting activities, Omar Aichoun and Mustapha Kaoui also frequent the Nadi Ettaraki (Circle of progress), an association created under the so-called 1901 law. Its head office is at « 9, place du Gouvernement » (Today). Place des Martyrs), in Algiers, The circle of progress is managed by the Islamic Reform Movement (El Islah), led by Sheikh Tayeb El Okbi, whose son Djamel will later be USM Alger goalkeeper. Fearing that the practice of sport is incompatible with the precepts of Islam, those concerned seek advice from the Sheikh, who encourages them and offers his blessing to USMA. For the administrative procedures and in order to obtain the agreement of the colonial authorities, they request the statutes from the Secretary General of MC Alger who willingly gives him a copy.[1]

There was a neighborhood team, the sports club on the rue saluste which we liked. We were Lahmar said Ali Zaid, Zemmour Ali, Slimani Ali, Bennour Said, Meddad Arezki and me, a bunch of neighborhood friends who lived through the hard times of colonization. We often discussed everything, things of life And then one thing leading to another we came to sport. The example of the Muslim clubs of the time ignited us. We had a burning desire to do something whenever the topic was brought up. All these clubs had inspired us, including OSM Oran, which was created in 1928. As far as the appellation is concerned, I knew all the cogs of such an operation. My frequent contacts with Mouloud Djazouli, a very active leader of MC Alger, had taught me a lot. I got to work straight away. It was necessary to prepare the statutes and the file to be deposited with the services of the prefecture. As soon as it is said, as soon as it is done, the file is recorded under the number - wait if I remember correctly - 1687. The only thing that "shocked" the colonial administration was the word Muslim. He was very frowned upon. We discussed, argued on both sides and agreement was granted. On July 5, 1937 the club was created. USMA was born. Its headquarters were in the rue du Divan. Its first board of directors includes of course the first ones named above to which will be added Amrani Abdelkader, Hemmaz Omar, Lakehal Omar, Basta Mohamed Ouali, Zennagui Mohamed, and Cherifi Ali. The first president was Meddad Arezki, the owner of the neighborhood café. When it was announced to him.

— The idea of creating a club came to Sid Ahmed Kemmat after having started to germinate during the month of May 1937.

The USMA option having been successful, the PPA renewed the operation and thus Union Sportive Musulmane, Espérance Sportives Musulmane, Jeunesse Sportive Musulmane, Widad and Croissant club were born. They were everywhere these clubs which were schools of Nationalism and Patriotism. Union Sportive Musulmane Algéroise was therefore born, and was ready to participate in 1938 in the 3rd division championship. At that time many players had expressed the wish to come to this club, unfortunately the regulations (license B) prohibited them. In addition, all participating clubs had to have a stadium for the competition. A criterion for which the federation of the time was uncompromising. This is what Mr. Kemmat did in the face of these two problems: “USM Alger at the time required a contract with a stadium for a minimum period of five years. This is to ensure the running of the competitions. I had contacted the leaders of the O club. Pointe Pescade (current Raïs Hamidou) and we had come to an understanding by paying him five thousand francs annually. For the money, no need to tell you where it came from ”, he adds with a sigh which speaks volumes about the state of mind that reigned at that time.[1] The first official match was on October 17, 1937 against JSO Hussein Dey and it ended in a draw.[2]

Through World War II

stade marcel cerdan USM Alger played some of its matches during the colonial period.

Then came World War II during which the competition system in the League Algiers was changed to three groups and for three seasons, Abderrahman Ibrir former center-half of AST Alger, became a goalkeeper with USMA and even had his first selection of Algiers under USMA colors, USM Alger contracted with a significant number of players and they are Zitouni Hassen, Zouaoui Rabah, Mahmoudi Smain, Naceri M'hamed and Houari GS Orleans city (now Chlef) Berkani Olympique de Tizi Ouzou. In the 1939–40 season USM Alger played for the first time in the first division and because of the outbreak of the World War II the championship was divided into three groups where USM Alger signed in the group A the team was bad where they won only two games against the same team US Alger and they was defeated in 9 games where USM Alger could not face the big teams then like RU Alger and AS Saint Eugène in the end, finished second to last either in Coupe de la Ligue and Coupe de la Solidarité the journey ended in the first round against US Blida and Stade Algérois respectively. On April 2, 1942, the Board of Directors announced the death of the club's president Arezki Meddad.[3] The resumption of official competitions occur in 1942. For the 1942–43 season, USMA returns to the third division according to the regulations in force. Mr El-Hadj Ahmed Kemmat intervenes:

The regulations stipulated that. You can imagine, doing a Muslim club a favor was unimaginable.

— El-Hadj Ahmed Kemmat, January 2009[4]

However, at the end of this season, USMA reached the second division with Mustapha El-Kamal as coach. The headquarters are now rue de Bône and the USMA has meanwhile opened its doors to other sports sections such as boxing,

Our Lady of Africa. This town which was very popular for its beauty, from the Ottoman period, and where were localized deys summer residences and some diplomatic representations, such as consulates of France, Belgium, England and the United States, passed to the rank common in colonial times and as of September 14, 1870 where she was baptized under the name of St. Eugene in honor of Eugene account Guyot, civilian director of Algiers from 1839 to 1844 and also gave its name City Guyotville (now Ain Benian). After the massacres of May 8, 1945 in Setif, Guelma and Kherrata USM Alger administration decided to change the Maroon color to the black in mourning for the lives of the victims to become the club's colors red and black. 45,000 Algerian demonstrators came out to celebrate the end of hostilities in World War II that day, recalling the colonial forces their patriotic claims. But the bloody repression of the French army found no other way to meet their legitimate demands that cause genocide. To show their patriotic commitment and sympathy, The black is synonymous with grief and they have changed Maroon to red
which represents the blood of martyrs who fell that day.

Instability of results (1950–56)

USM Alger in 1950 was promoted to the First division with the Krimo brothers, the Azzouz brothers, Chabli, Benhaik and that was at the same time one day before the period of the great break towards Hammam-Lif, also they Change the club headquarters from rue du Divan (behind Ketchaoua Mosque) to rue de Bône and at the same time USM Alger opened its doors to other sports divisions such as boxing, basketball and cycling. Activities continue on their way thanks to the dedication of Abdelkader Omrani, Mohamed Abdelhamid and Abdelkader Cherchari, the main leaders of these new disciplines. Mr.Kemmat would like to remind us of this Abdelkader Cherchari who was the head of the cycling department has donated one of the three pieces that the USM used as a seat. Examples of this kind, each given according to his means, a school where the youth took as a model for all these men who were born Here, it's up to Ali Zammouri, one of those who was part of the founding group, had the particularity of taking care of patching all his football boots at the end of each season and at his own expense. The 1951–52 season witnessed the joining of Abdelhamid Kermali to the club coming from USM Sétif and after only one season, Kermali moved to France to play with FC Mulhouse. after which he wrote his name who went in the history of Algerian football that is led the Algerian national team to the first African Cup of Nations in 1990.

USM Alger and National Liberation War (1956–62)

A picture of some USM Alger players in the mountain during the Algerian revolution.

In 1956, the central management of the FLN decided to cease all sporting activities of Muslim clubs. A meeting was held at the USMA circle on Rue de Bône to decide on the cessation of football. It was held under the chairmanship of Ali Cherifi, vice-president of USMA and responsible for finances of Zone autonome d'Alger (ZAA). Two of the first officials of ZAA were then part of USMA, It is noteworthy that Muhammad Hattab better known as Habib Reda, who led the bomb network within the autonomous region and was sentenced to death was a basketball player in USM Alger, Furthermore it should be added that the colonial authorities after noting that the circle of USMA, located at 7 rue de Bône, served as a refuge for the fidayins in particular after the Casbah was closed by a network of barbed wire leaving only a few passages monitored and controlled, had the circle occupied by the Zouaves in November 1956, then by the paratroopers who made it a center of torture. All the administrative and technical archives of USM Alger were seized by the occupying army.[5]

Given the exceptional circumstances and circumstances The league still decided to put them in the final standings in order not to penalize them (because normally the rule stipulates it is a downgrading in lower division for any general package), with a view to of a possible resumption of their activities for the next season. this withdrawal i come at the request of the National Liberation Front (FLN) in support of the revolution against French colonialism and the delivery of voice to the world after the withdrawal, he joined a number of the squad to the front in the mountains. Reacting to this refusal of the old Algiers club, ZAA officials appointed two fidayînes responsible for creating disorder during the AS Saint Eugène vs MC Alger match at the Saint Eugène stadium in order to push the MCA to cease activities. These two martyrs are two USMA players Boudissa Abdelkader known as "Chichois", fallen in the field of honor in Wilaya IV and Ferhaoui Rachid known as “Rachid Red” sentenced to death in 1957. The sacrifice of the Red and black will not stop there, since the club of Soustara will give the largest number of Chahids (martyrs) to the revolution among football clubs, and this number rises to 42 including two heads of regions, Captain Allel Oukid head of the 4th region of Wilaya IV and Bennacer Mohamed Arezki, head of the 3rd region of the ZAA and head of the bomb network.

Djamel Keddou, was an USM Alger player and manager, he led USM Alger to the Algerian Cup in 1981 and 1988.

On July 5, 1987 USK Alger celebrated its 50th anniversary and the opportunity to bring everyone together has not been seized. Many of these people did not participate in this celebration. From the founding father Sid Ahmed Kemmat to the sympathetic son like Boualem Rahma the Chaabi singer, However they forgot many faces that presented to the club that the reasons the party was not complete.

Stade 5 Juillet 1962 which is the fourth final between the two teams and the first victory for USMA after three defeats, after the match Amar Kabrane was subjected to great criticism and was accused of deliberately wasting the penalty shootout, especially since he then moved to them, USM Alger guarantee the qualification card for the African Cup Winners Cup for the second time, where USMA reached the quarter-finals and after the defeat in Algeria against the Malagasy club Football Club Banky they decided not to complete the competition for financial reasons. 1989–90 season

After the fall USM Alger was looking for a quick return to the first division, but it failed to achieve it. As for the Algerian Cup USMA reached the quarter-finals and eliminated against USM Bel Abbès and at the end of the season, the club's top scorer Tarek Hadj Adlane left for JS Kabylie. USMA suffered during this period of stability at the administrative level, as the chair of the Board of Directors witnessed a change three times, each of Saïd Hammo, Rachid Khelouati and Mouldi Aïssaoui the latter was also president of the Algerian Football Federation and Algeria witnessed a great political and economic crisis and the beginning of the black decade greatly affected the club's future. Also at the level of managers witnessed instability and the position of the coach was traded in a large number during this period including the Soviet Acramov. In the 1992–93 season, the club trained by four coaches at the same time including Allik and Aïssaoui which has not happened in its history. In the following season USMA competed strongly for the ticket to the first division to the last round and with a difference in direct confrontations with ASO Chlef it failed to achieve its goal.
