North African Champions Cup


Tournament for the French northern African territories (officially, Morocco and Tunisia were 'protectorates' while Algeria was divided into three departments, Alger, Constantine and Oran). It was known in French as "Championnat d'Association de Football Nord-Africain".

It was played between the 5 champions of the regional leagues of Alger, Constantine, Maroc, Oran and Tunis; Maroc did not enter their champions until the 1928/29 season. From 1929/30 until 1932/33 the champions of Constantine and Tunis had to play a qualifying match to enter the semi-finals; the results of these matches are unknown. From the 1933/34 season another, unknown, qualifying modus was adopted. League champions who did not enter the semi-finals of the tournament are given in italics.

In 1956 Morocco and Tunisia obtained independence; the tournament was continued between the champions of the Algerian regional leagues, and called Championnat d'Algérie; in 1959/60 a league format encompassing all three regions was adopted. The tournament was discontinued in March 1962; after the independence of Algeria in 1962 all clubs based in the French community disappeared.

Note that the tournament, which was also known as Coupe Steeg in honour of the Gouverneur Général d'Algérie, was made an official tournament in 1920; editions had been played before, involving Alger, Constantine, Oran and Tunis (so not Maroc). In 1946 the official name of the tournament was changed to Challenge Louis Rivet, after the president of the congress of the five leagues involved.

In post-colonial times, the Maghreb Champions Cup of the 1970s can be considered a successor tournament; in 2008 the slightly wider North African Champions Cup including Libya was launched.
