History

USM Oran in 1939

The club was founded on March 1, 1926, under the name of Union Sportive Musulmane Oranaise in Medina Jedida, a famous popular quarter of Oran, by the Algerian nationalist Sadok 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 (Template:Lang-en) in its name to differentiate from other European colonial teams.[1]

The club was also named NADIT Oran between 1977 and 1989
