History
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 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'' ( en, Muslim) in its name to differentiate from other European colonial teams.
The club was also named NADIT Oran between 1977 and 1989
