The USM Oran was founded at the French colonial period in the day of 1 March 1926 in the quarter of Medina Jedida in 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 after some days of it creation.
