They will be competing in National, the Algerian Cup and the African Cup of Champions. In 1976, MC Alger qualified for the African Cup of Champions Clubs for the first time in its history after winning the 1974–75 Algerian Championnat National. They reached the final after beating Al-Ahly Benghazi of Libya, Al Ahly of Egypt, Luo Union of Kenya and Enugu Rangers of Nigeria, respectively.[1] In the final, they met Guinean club Hafia Conakry, who had won the last edition of the competition. In the first leg in Conakry, MC Alger lost 3–0 and faced the difficult task of having to score three goals in the return leg. However, in the return leg, they managed to score the three goals with a brace from Omar Betrouni and a goal from Zoubir Bachi.[2] They went on to win the penalty shootout 4–1 to win their first African title and also become the first Algerian club to win a continental competition.

Algerian Cup

See main article: 1975–76 Algerian Cup. On June 19, 1976, under a blazing sun and suffocating heat, Mouloudia of Algiers began the harvest series by winning its 3rd Algerian Cup by beating MO Constantine in the final. The Match, without reaching a great technical level, was folded in ten minutes thanks to two lightning goals from Bellemou and Bencheikh. The green and red left no room for suspense with this resounding entry into the match. In the second minute of the game, Bellemou was already receiving a cross from his left to forestall the exit of the Constantinois goalkeeper Naïdja and put the ball in the back of the net. 8 minutes later, the virulent right winger of Mouloudia, Omar Betrouni obtains a free kick at the edge of the 25 meters of the goalkeeper Mociste's cage, Ali Bencheikh took charge of executing it to lodge the leather in the back of the net of the unfortunate Naidja .The series of consecrations was well underway. MC Alger won its third Algerian Cup after those of 1971 and 1973.
