The Algerian clasico, are the matches between CR Belouizdad (CRB) and MC Oran (MCO) and gives rise to an important confrontation. The first represents Algiers, the capital of the country, the second Oran, the second largest city in the country. They are both among the most successful clubs in the country.
They are also the two clubs having played the greatest number of seasons in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1, since they have both always been part of this elite, except for one season. This confrontation is considered a clasico in Algeria.
History The rivalry between the two clubs began in the first season of the national Division 1 championship, organized after the country's independence in 1962. The first match between Mouloudia Club of Oran and Chabab Riadhi Belouizdad (formerly Belcourt) took place during the third season, of which it marks the opening.

MCO top CRB with goals from Nehari (35th) and Karim Hmida (41st & 47th) to take them 3-0 up after an hour. CRB wakes up in the final half hour of play to reduce the score on a collective work allowing Arab to shake twice the nets of Larbi "Elgool" (57th and 85th).
This first confrontation therefore ends with the victory of the MCO on the score of 3 goals to 2 against the CRB of the time. The return match does not take place: the CRB wins the match by penalty following the suspension of MC Oran and MC Alger from all football activity by the Minister of Sport at the time.
