History

USM Oran in 1939

The club was founded on March 1, 1926 under the name of Union Sportive Musulmane d'Oran in Medina Jedida, a famous popular quarter of Oran, by the Algerian nationalist Sadek Boumaza with Bendouba "El Fellous", Benkoula, Boumefraa and others. They decided to create a team which became a multi-sports club some days after its creation. The club is the first one of North Africa to put the word Musulmane (English: Muslim) in its name to differentiate from other European colonial teams[1].

The club was also named NADIT Oran between 1977 and 1989
