History

Early years

The Algiers Derby between USM Alger and MC Alger is the biggest derby in Algeria.[1] [2] [3] The first meeting between the two teams in 1940 ended in victory for MC Alger. In the Final of the 1962–63 Algerian Championnat National, USMA won 3-0 against MC Alger, becoming the first champion following the independence of Algeria.

In 1971, MC Alger secured the Cup Final with a 2-0 win over USMA, and went on to repeat the same feat two years later in a 4-2 victory after extra time. In 1982, USM Alger dispatched MC Alger in the quarterfinals on the way to winning their first Cup Final.

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. MC Alger sponsored by the national hydrocarbon company Sonatrach which induces the change of its name which becomes Mouloudia Pétroliers d'Alger (MPA). 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).

Apart from that victory, USM Alger struggled during the 1980's and early 90's, playing only five seasons in the top flight, thus limiting the number of meaningful derbies.

Promoted of USM Alger and the derby return again

In 1995, the USM Alger returned to the top flight for the first time in five seasons, only to return again derby between the two teams first meeting after the return was a Stade Omar Hammadi throwing stopped because of the violence to be again behind closed doors and the same pitch and it was the last time playing teams at this stadium derby presence The public and in the same season the USMA won the league title after thirty-three years for first title.

in the 1998–99 Algerian Cup Semi-finals there was a great controversy over the way the game was played, where it was supposed to play from two games, but the Ministry of Youth and Sports decided to play the two games in Stade du 5 Juillet, Saïd Allik President of USMA, refused this insisting that each team plays in his stadium and Stade du 5 Juillet, he was the official stadium of MC Alger, after which the Minister of Youth and Sports Mohamed Aziz Derouaz rejected this request and insisted that he play on Stade du 5 Juillet for security reasons. On the day of the match, USM Alger went to Omar Hamadi Stadium and MC Alger and the referees to Stade du 5 Juillet. Minister of the Interior and Local Authorities at that time Abdelmalek Sellal called Allik to find a solution to this problem, His response was that there were two solutions the first is that each team plays in its stadium Or hold one game in a neutral stadium, and Allik proposes Stade du 19 Mai 1956 in Annaba, but because of the black decade and since both of them are from the capital, it was decided to hold it in Stade du 5 Juillet.

In 2004 Stade 5 Juillet 1962 in a Ramadan evening in a meeting months is the presence of more than 100,000 spectators, it won the USMA lead to 1-2 and scored the winning goal player Hocine Achiou a goal from a heel like « Madjer », in the return leg MCA won by the score 1-2 goals scored Noureddine Daham, the first win in six years Then the two teams met in the final of the cup twice in 2006 and 2007 a row ended with the victory of MCA and simplifies the control of the MCA in the cup in the fourth final between the two teams, In the 2005-2006 season, he met with the two teams in the league in the first leg at Stade 5 Juillet 1962 MC Alger take the lead, by centre-back Ismaël Bouzid in 18 minutes, where he remained advanced the lead, and after that the supporters of USMA looked to leave and celebrate the supporters of MCA winning Nigerian striker Michael Eneramo arises in the final seconds to restore order. Moulay Haddou recovers a touchdown Boudiaf and on a long center will find Eneramo, strangely alone who, with a stitched head, releases his own and will make cry for goalkeeper Merouane Abdouni who certainly did not accept to cash a goal of the kind against his former team in one of the most exciting matches between the two clubs.[4]

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,[5] 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.[6] [7] On 27 October 2010, Haddad replaced Saïd Allik as president of the club.[8] Allik had been the club's president for the past 18 years. As for MC Alger a protocol of agreement was signed between Sonatrach and SSPA MCA to purchase 100 percent of the capital of the sports company with shares of MC Alger, The President and General Manager of the Petroleum Company as well as the Executive Financial Director of the company Omar Beja, attended on the Mouloudia side, Chairman of the Board of Directors Abdelkader Bouhraoua who signed the protocol.

Also this was the first time that Al Ittihad won against Mouloudia in the final after four defeats before. After the end of the match and while heading to get the medals, MC Alger refused to go up in protest against the performance of referee Djamel Haimoudi, and then has to punish the club president Omar Gharib lifelong player Faouzi Chaouchi and Réda Babouche two years and coach Djamel Menad one year.[12] [13] In 2014, the two teams met in the final of the Super Cup, for the first time, and the game ended with MC Alger victory by a goal scored Sid Ahmed Aouedj.[14] [15] Moreover, a scandal then mars this competition. Algerian international assistant referee, Amine Bitam, together with the game officer, told the local press that a senior Algerian official ordered for MCA players to deliberately injure their opponents during the match. A worthwhile goal for USM Alger was denied under the pretext of offside. The case is currently in court.[16] the two clubs met again for the Super cup in first of November 2016, the game was played at the Mustapha Tchaker Stadium and USMA were crowned winners after the game ended with 2 goals scored Farouk Chafaï and Mohamed Rabie Meftah by a penalty.[17] [18]

As he recalled the founding of the Club on 7 August 1921 by the late Abderrahmane Aouf, and returned to the team's obstacle course and its stoppage before and during the Algerian war. The rate of progress of the stadium's work has reached around 55%, according to the 2020 activity report presented last February by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. For several years, several Algerian clubs including USM Alger, CR Belouizdad and MC Alger have been asking that one of the two new football stadiums under construction in Baraki and Douera be awarded to them.[22] [23]
