==History==
Olympic Casablanca is considered one of the oldest and oldest Moroccan clubs. During the beginning of the twenties of the last century and exactly in the year 1904, a group of French residents of the city of Casablanca who worked in the Milk Company decided to establish a multi-sports entertainment club called the Milk Association. After independence, the club remained under the tutelage of the Milk Company and became involved in the local football departments.
Olympique de Casablanca is considered to be one of the oldest Moroccan and African clubs. In the early years of the 20th century (1904), a group of French residents of the city of Casablanca who worked in the Milk Company decided to establish a multi-sports entertainment club called the Milk Association. After the independence, the club remained under the tutelage of the Milk Company and became involved in the local football department.

The team played a dam meeting to ascend to the second section in front of the team of Crouch soft drinks, and it was defeated in 1979, but luck was on the side of the association after the withdrawal of Crouch soft drinks company and its shares were bought and the team started to assign the largest players. It was named after the Olympic Oval and its incorporation into Una, the largest holding company, and then the historical and final merger, accompanied by Raja.
Little is known about the team's performances during the [[French protectorate in Morocco]]. After the independence, the team spent the next three decades playing in the lower divisions. In 1979, they contested a play-off for promotion to the second tier against Crush, which ended in a defeat. However, luck was on the club's side following the withdrawal of Crush soft drinks company and its shares were bought. Throughout this period (up until 1991), the club was known as '''CLAS Casablanca''' which stands for Centrale Laitière Association Sportive and was incorporated into [[Omnium nord Africain|ONA]], the largest holding in the country.
Immediately after the impressive achievement of our national team in the Mexico World Cup 1986

A strong team was born and appeared in the excellent department "Milk Association", which will be called later Olympic Oval which will mislead the phenomenon and the myth of Moroccan and Arab teams
The club created a major upset by winning the [[Moroccan Throne Cup|Throne Cup]] in [[1982-83 Moroccan Throne Cup|1983]], when they beat the defending champions [[Raja CA]] 5–4 on penalties after the game had ended 1–1 in regular and extra time in the final at the [[Stade Mohamed V]], becoming the first team to win it while playing in the second division. It was also the club's first title since its foundation in 1904.
Where he was able to achieve since his rise to the first section national and continental titles that no ancient team has been able to achieve at the same speed achieved by the Olympic Oval "Milk Association"

Suffice it to be the only Arab team to have won the Arab Cup Winners Cup 3 times in a row in 1991; 1992, 1993 and 1994 he almost won the title had it not been for the injustice of the Egyptian referee in the semi-final match against Al-Ahly, which was held in Egypt. He expelled 4 Olympic players and yet the match ended for the Egyptians 3-2.
As cup winners, CLAS Casablanca qualified to play in the [[African Cup Winners' Cup]] in [[1984 African Cup Winners' Cup|1984]] but were eliminated in the First Round following a 1–5 loss on aggregate against the eventual champions [[Al Ahly SC|Al Ahly]]. It would also be their last ever appearance at African level.
I would just like to mention that the team achieved its first title in the Throne Cup in 1983 and was playing in the second division, where it defeated

Please in the final match; "And it is considered the first team to achieve the Throne Cup while playing in the second division."
The club hit another milestone in the 1980s when they achieved promotion to the top flight in 1987 ahead of the [[1987-88 Botola|1987-88 season]] for the first time in the club's history. They finished 6th in the league standings in their maiden season and were invited to play at the [[1989 Arab Club Champions Cup]], going out at the preliminary round after finishing bottom of their group behind [[Étoile du Sahel]] and [[JS Kabylie]], thereby missing the final tournament in [[Marrakech]].
In the year 1986, as I mentioned earlier, the team was able to climb to the first section.

Where he created and enjoyed, he was able to win the Throne Cup for the second time in an exciting match against the Royal Army in 1990, which authorized him to participate in the Arab Cups Cup in 1991 AD to win it deservedly and deservingly, as he raised the name of Morocco high in the Arab fields. 1992 AD The Olympic will be able to achieve the Throne Cup for the third time in front of Raja.
The club were also invited to participate in the now-defunct [[Mohammed V Trophy]], a four-team friendly tournament. In 1988, the club finished last, losing to [[Hassania Agadir|HUS Agadir]] (1-1 a.e.t, 2–4 on penalties) in the semi-finals and [[KAC Marrakech]] (1–3) in the third place playoff. The team improved their performance in the following year (which was also the last edition), reaching the final before losing to [[FC Sochaux]] (0-0, 3–4 on penalties).
The team continued to shine in winning the Arab Cups Cup in 1992 and 1993 against the Arab football giants. To come in the year 1994 AD and complement the joys of the team by winning the National Championship title.

In 1990, the club won the Throne Cup for the second time, beating [[FAR Rabat]] 4–2 on penalties (0-0 a.e.t). Consequently, the club opted to enter the [[1991 Arab Cup Winners' Cup]]. They managed to win the competition at first attempt, defeating Egyptian side [[El-Mokawloon El-Arab]] 1–0 in the final. In the same year, the club changed their name to become '''Club Olympique de Casablanca''' (COC). They then went on to defend their title twice consecutively in [[1992 Arab Cup Winners' Cup|1992]] and [[1993 Arab Cup Winners' Cup|1993]], in the process becoming the only club to have won the competition three times in a row (and overall). That streak ended in [[1994 Arab Cup Winners' Cup|1994]], when they were beaten by [[Al Ahly SC|Al Ahly]] 2–3 in the semi-finals.

At domestic level, the club won their third Throne Cup title in [[1991-92 Moroccan Throne Cup|1992]] at the expense of [[Raja CA]] in a rematch of the 1983 final. This time with a 1–0 scoreline. In the [[1993-94 Botola|1993-94 season]], Olympique de Casablanca won their first ever (and also their last) league title, 90 years into the club's existence, finishing 10 points ahead of runners-up [[Wydad Casablanca]]. They also came close to retaining the title in [[1994-95 Botola|the following season]], but finished runners-up one point behind [[COD Meknès]]. The club ceased to exist at the end of that season, when it was dissolved due to [[Omnium nord Africain|ONA]]'s decision to pull out of the club for financial constraints.

History

[edit]

Olympique de Casablanca is considered to be one of the oldest Moroccan and African clubs. In the early years of the 20th century (1904), a group of French residents of the city of Casablanca who worked in the Milk Company decided to establish a multi-sports entertainment club called the Milk Association. After the independence, the club remained under the tutelage of the Milk Company and became involved in the local football department.

Little is known about the team's performances during the French protectorate in Morocco. After the independence, the team spent the next three decades playing in the lower divisions. In 1979, they contested a play-off for promotion to the second tier against Crush, which ended in a defeat. However, luck was on the club's side following the withdrawal of Crush soft drinks company and its shares were bought. Throughout this period (up until 1991), the club was known as CLAS Casablanca which stands for Centrale Laitière Association Sportive and was incorporated into ONA, the largest holding in the country.

The club created a major upset by winning the Throne Cup in 1983, when they beat the defending champions Raja CA 5–4 on penalties after the game had ended 1–1 in regular and extra time in the final at the Stade Mohamed V, becoming the first team to win it while playing in the second division. It was also the club's first title since its foundation in 1904.

As cup winners, CLAS Casablanca qualified to play in the African Cup Winners' Cup in 1984 but were eliminated in the First Round following a 1–5 loss on aggregate against the eventual champions Al Ahly. It would also be their last ever appearance at African level.

The club hit another milestone in the 1980s when they achieved promotion to the top flight in 1987 ahead of the 1987-88 season for the first time in the club's history. They finished 6th in the league standings in their maiden season and were invited to play at the 1989 Arab Club Champions Cup, going out at the preliminary round after finishing bottom of their group behind Étoile du Sahel and JS Kabylie, thereby missing the final tournament in Marrakech.

The club were also invited to participate in the now-defunct Mohammed V Trophy, a four-team friendly tournament.

The team improved their performance in the following year (which was also the last edition), reaching the final before losing to FC Sochaux (0-0, 3–4 on penalties).
