Review

Background

On December 24, 1950, JS Kabylie and Olympique de Tizi-Ouzou faced each other for the first time in an official match. The two clubs, competing in the same division but separated by 45 years of history, met in the ninth and final round of the first leg of Group II in the Algiers League First Division. The game was preceded by a highly charged atmosphere. The rivalry extended beyond the pitch, reflecting the social divide in the city: Europeans largely supported Olympique, while Muslims rallied behind JS Kabylie. Aware of the explosive tension, the O. Tizi Ouzou president, Gambardella, tried his best to calm spirits before kick-off. On the field, the derby lived up to expectations and ended in a 1–1 draw. Hassoun Saïd scored for JS Kabylie, while Haouchine Amar equalized for Olympique. In terms of standings, this result allowed JS Kabylie to finish the first leg on top of Group II with 23 points, while O. Tizi Ouzou placed 5th with 19 points.

The two rivals met again on April 1, 1951, in what was the ninth and final match of the return phase of the First Division championship, Group II. The clash ended in a bitter defeat for JS Kabylie, losing 4–3. The standout performer was none other than Olympique’s striker Omar Bouzar, who single-handedly scored all four goals for his team. As a consequence, JS Kabylie, who had been leading the group before this match, finished the championship in second place in Group II with 43 points (10 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses). The OM Saint Eugène overtook them and were crowned Group II champions.

The promotion system to the Division d’Honneur did not allow JS Kabylie direct access. Instead, the top two teams from each of the three groups (I, II, III) advanced to playoff tournaments: the group winners played each other, and the runners-up did the same. Only the top two from the winners’ tournament earned automatic promotion to the Division d’Honneur. For JS Kabylie, participation in the runners-up tournament meant nothing more than a classification round, where the best possible outcome was a fourth-place finish overall.
