The second oldest club among Moroccan clubs founded by Moroccans only, The Club also has the fifth best record in winning the Moroccan Football league, 4 times: (1960, 1973, 1981 and 1982) behind Wydad Athletic Club, FAR de Rabat, Raja Club Athletic and Maghreb de Fès. Without forgetting the record scorer in the moroccan football league held by the Top Scorer Mohamed Bousati with 25 goals scored during the season 1981/1982. However, they never reclaimed their success of the 80s. In recent times they have flipped between the Botola and Botola 2, never finding consistency in the top division.
