History

The beginning (1962–1990)

USM Alger first champion of Algeria

The first meeting between CR Belouizdad and USM Alger took place on September 30, 1962 in a friendly Match. The CR Belouizdad, newly created on July 15 of the same year, organized a pre-season tournament at Stade municipal. USM Alger was among the teams invited to participate in the tournament alongside JS Kabylie and ESM Alger. USM Alger, Algeria's future champion, dominates CR Belouizdad by five goals to one (5–1). On 22 December 1963 they met for the first time in an official match in Critériums d'Honneur and ended with a single goal for USM Alger by Krimo Rebih, after the two first seasons where was little control in favor of The Reds and Blacks they fall to Second Division for four seasons. However, in terms of titles, Les Belcourtois was the best five titles for one, In the 1968–69 Algerian Cup they met for the first time in the final and ended the match with the victory of CR Belouizdad 5–3, including hat-trick of Hacène Lalmas the first and only in the history of the confrontations between the two clubs. In the seventies the control of the CR Belouizdad on June 28, 1970 met for the second time in a row in the final cup and ended with a heavy result 4–1 for Les Belcourtois, This period witnessed a difference in level between the two teams CR Belouizdad continued to achieve titles, and USM Alger did not achieve anything and its results were not good and most were playing on the fall where they played two seasons in the Second Division in this period.

First professional era

In 1977 a sports reform was carried out as intended by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, in order to give the elite clubs a good financial base allowing them to structure themselves professionally (in ASP Which means Association Sportive de Performances). The aim was therefore that they should have full management autonomy with the creation of their own training center. CR Belcourt sponsored by the national Mechanical company which induces the change of its name which becomes Chabab Mécanique de Belcourt (CMB). as for USM Alger sponsors the club and change the name to Union sportive kahraba d'Alger (USK Alger), (Arabic : كهرباء, kahraba) meaning electricity who had inherited the Société nationale de l'électricité et du gaz company (Sonelgaz)., on 11 May 1978 they met for the third time in the cup final and ended like the first two finalists for CR Belouizdad on penalties 3–0. In the 1980s, saw the end of professionalism in 1987 faced with a major financial and economic crisis, the Algerian government in place in 1989 decides to abandon the 1977 reform. Most clubs thus reconnect with their original names, on June 23, 1988 They met for the fourth time in the Final of the Algerian Cup and this time USM Alger managed to win a 6–5 on penalty shootout. In 1991, the district of Belcourt will be baptized in the name of the revolutionary Mohamed Belouizdad, this change will not influence the acronym of the club which remains the same so the club is named Chabab Riadhi Belouizdad.

Return after five seasons (1995–2010)

After 5 seasons in the Second Division, the excitement between the two teams returned, and their level was close between 1995 and 2002 Where CR Belouizdad and USM Alger achieved 5 titles each one, on 12 June 2003. They met in the Algerian Cup final for the fifth time, USM Alger with a Golden goal through Moncef Ouichaoui achieved the title for the sixth time. [1] [2] In the same season they won the league title for the fourth time, this is the first double of its history (league and cup), under the leadership of coach Azzedine Aït Djoudi On February 24, 2003, in the derby meeting against CR Belouizdad and in the last minutes while Hichem Mezaïr was heading to fetch the ball, the ball holder attacked him to respond in kind, so the match stopped and the stands turned into an arena of violence between the managers and supporters of the two clubs and despite that, the match was completed with difficulty. After that, the level of CR Belouizdad dropped dramatically and the matches between the two sides became mostly for the benefit of USM Alger and between 2002 and 2010, CR Belouizdad won only two time from 16 matches. In this period USM Alger achieved 4 titles, while CR Belouizdad did not achieve any title. Also between 25 August 2008 and 13 September 2014 saw a record of 13 unbeaten matches for USM Alger. [3] Also in the same period CR Belouizdad were unable to score in eight consecutive games.

It was decided by the Ligue de Football Professionnel and the Algerian Football Federation to professionalize the Algerian football championship, starting from the 2010–11 season Thus all the Algerian football clubs which until then enjoyed the status of semi-professional club, will acquire the professional appointment this season. the president of the Algerian Football Federation, Mohamed Raouraoua, has been speaking since his inauguration as the federation's president in Professionalism, [4] USM Alger become the first professional club in Algeria businessman Ali Haddad became the majority share owner after investing 700 million Algeria dinars to buy an 83% ownership in the club. [5] [6] On October 27, 2010, Haddad replaced Saïd Allik as president of the club. [7] On the other side CR Belouizdad did not find a company to invest until 2018 where the CEO of MADAR Holding Charafeddine Amara confirmed that an agreement had been reached with CSA/CRB to buy back 67% of the shares, after the CSA/CRB decided in its general meeting to sell only 47% of the shares of the 75% it holds. [8] [9] The company's officials then appointed the former President of USM Alger Allik as a general manager.

We agreed with the CEO of MADAR Holding to separate. I leave the club with remorse after having had an extraordinary year where we saved the club and won the cup. I don't understand all these changes at the club. The question remains and only MADAR Holding (the shareholder company) has the answer.

— Saïd Allik in a statement about his resignation from CR Belouizdad. [10]

In 2015, USM Alger reached the final of the CAF Champions League for the first time where it was defeated against TP Mazembe. [11] On April 3, 2019 CR Belouizdad achieved his first win at Omar Hamadi Stadium against USM Alger since 1982. [12] Allik received great criticism from the supporters of USM Alger, the club, which was its president for 16 years and demanded him to resign from the presidency of the amateur club but he refused. With the outbreak of protests in Algeria and the impact of USM Alger after the imprisonment of the club’s owner Ali Haddad, the amateur club of USM Alger headed by Saïd Allik, began to intervene to pull the rug out from ETRHB Haddad company, something that the supporters who demanded him to resign from CR Belouizdad did not like in order to interfere in the club’s affairs and with the request of the Minister of Youth and Sports not to Combine two positions, Saïd Allik returned to his resignation from the SSPA CR Belouizdad in a recent statement. Allik indicated that he did not understand the latest changes that have been made to the organization chart of the Algerian club in recent months. [13]

CR Belouizdad dominate & USM Alger won the first continental title

On March 15, 2020, the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) decided to halt the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Algeria. [14] On July 29, 2020, the LFP declared that season is over and CR Belouizdad to be the champion for the first time in 19 years and the seventh in its history. [15] due to the COVID-19, the Algerian Super Cup has become threatened with cancellation On October 4, The Federal Bureau decided that the final play before the start of the 2020–21 season on November 21, 2020. [16] In the first match between the two teams in the Super Cup, CR Belouizdad won the title for the second time in its history. [17] After losing the final USM Alger decided to dismiss François Ciccolini from his post because he did not rise to the podium to receive the medal, which was considered an insult to an official body Where was the Prime Minister Abdelaziz Djerad present. [18] On March 2, 2020, after it was expected that the USM Alger general assembly of shareholders will be on March 12, 2020, especially after the imprisonment of the former club president, Rabouh Haddad. The meeting witnessed the attendance of ETRHB Haddad representative and the absence of the amateur club president Saïd Allik, after two and a half hours, it was announced that Groupe SERPORT had bought the shares of ETRHB Haddad which amounted to 94.34%. [19] [20]

In the 2022–23 season, there was a great struggle between the supporters of the two clubs especially on social media, about the continental participation of USM Alger in the CAF Confederation Cup and considering it a weak competition. Chairman of the Board of Directors of CR Belouizdad Mahdi Rabhi stated that reaching the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League is better than winning the CAF Confederation Cup. However, USMA became the first Algerian winners of the CAF Confederation Cup and the first international title in its history, after its victory against Young Africans. [21] [22] On July 4, 2023, CR Belouizdad won the title for the fourth time in a row and the tenth in its history, becoming the second club to exceed this number after JS Kabylie. [23] On September 15, 2023, USM Alger won its second continental title after winning the CAF Super Cup against Al Ahly, and it is the second of its kind for Algeria. [24]
