History

The beginning (1962–1990)
The team that won 10 titles in 8 seasons and whose red and white colors were worn by the players who were the pillars of Algeria national football team.

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 the Municipal Stadium. 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, The 1960s saw little control in favor of The Reds and Blacks 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, towards the end of 1974, 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, 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.

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 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.

Second professional era (since 2010)

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] Allik had been the club's president for the past 18 years, On the other side CR Belouizdad did not find a company to invest until 2018 where bought Madar Holding the majority of shares.[8][9] The company's officials then appointed the former President of USM Alger Allik as a general manager. On April 3, 2019 CR Belouizdad achieved his first win at Omar Hamadi Stadium against USM Alger since 1982.[10]
