Club Sportif Constantinois 1926.

Club sportif constantinois is an Algerian professional football club based in Constantine, Constantine Province. The founding date recognized by the LFP is June 26, 1898. [1] the professional football league does not cite any date of creation of the club and uses the CS Constantine logo, which bears the founding date of 1898. [1] The club still insists on the date of June 26, 1898, which would make the club among the deans of Algerian and African football. The main argument put forward by CS Constantine is that the latter has existed under different acronyms throughout its history, while keeping the same colors and the same values. [1] Thus, from 1898 to 1912, the club would have been called IKBAL Émancipation. Then, it reappeared from 1916 to 1918 under the name of Étoile club musulman constantinois, to finally become in 1898, the current Club sportif constantinois. [1]
