The club was founded in 1928 by Sidi Saïd Hanafi under the name of RC Tizi-Ouzou, but the project stalled because of colonial laws in force in Algeria. Sidi Said Hanafi relaunched the project in the early 1940's and applied to join the FFF. However, his death resulted in the suspension of the proceedings. The project was then taken up by a group of players from the Olympique de Tizi-Ouzou.
