In the 1990–91 season, AS Ain M'lila was challenging for the title, finishing in third-position.[2] The club continued to challenge for the title for several years coming in respectable positions, but their closest was that of the 1990–91 season.

They fought hard throughout the game, but unfortunately conceded a goal by Hadj-Adlane in the 88th minute. The final score being 1–0 at the stade 5 juillet in Algiers.[3]
In the 1998–99 season, the club came 8th in the Championnat National 1, but was relegated due to the new format as only clubs from the top six from both groups were kept on for the new format of the league.[4] In the 1999–2000 season, of the newly formatted second division, the club came in fourth-position which enabled them to get promoted back to the Championnat National 1 after just one season away.
