MC Oran Football: El Mouloudia of Oran, Their Titles, Squad and African Kick Off Times

MC Oran, in full Mouloudia Club d'Oran and known as El Mouloudia, are an Algerian football club from the western port city of Oran, founded on 1 January 1917 as Mouloudia Club Musulman Oranais and formed in their current shape on 14 May 1946. They play in red and white at the Miloud Hadefi Stadium, which holds 40,148, and they were Algerian champions in 1971, 1988, 1992 and 1993. For soccer readers in Johannesburg and Durban, as much as for football followers in Lagos, their 1989 continental final offers a starting point for exploring the club.

The club's story connects Algerian football with competition across Africa. The live news, squad and coach boxes provide updates, while the fixtures and table show the schedule and standings. The honours and timeline trace the late 1980s and 1990s, including Oran's appearance in an African final. That peak provides a clear introduction to the club's continental history.

Who Are MC Oran, El Mouloudia of the West?

MC Oran are a red and white club from Oran, the big port of western Algeria. The name needs care because Mouloudia also belongs to MC Alger in the capital, and the two are separate clubs with their own history and support. The original 1917 title, Mouloudia Club Musulman Oranais, shows how far back the name goes, while El Mouloudia is the nickname supporters use. When a headline says Mouloudia without a city, check whether it means Oran or Algiers before reading on.

Where Is the Latest MC Oran News, and Who Is the Coach?

The latest MC Oran news, including the name of the current coach, sits in the live boxes at the top, and each one carries the date it was last checked. That date stamp matters because coaching appointments can arrive at any point in a season. The coach module changes when the club confirms a new name. Transfer news, squad announcements and match reports follow the same rule, so the box is the place to look for anything that has happened since the last round of fixtures.

How Do You Follow MC Oran Fixtures, Results and the Table From Africa?

The quickest route is the Mc Oran fixtures list, which shows every upcoming match with its competition and its kick off time in WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT side by side.

The Algerian Ligue 1 table (the log, as South African readers call it) ranks the clubs by points, so read it beside the fixtures to see which sides still have games in hand.

How Is the MC Oran Squad Set Out?

Oran's squad module separates goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards into positional groups, with nationality details and shirt numbers attached to individual entries. Supporters from Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda can scan those nationalities for a connection to El Mouloudia.

Earlier generations of Mouloudia footballers feature below in the account of Oran's past stars.

What Have MC Oran Won?

MC Oran have won the Algerian league four times, in 1971, 1988, 1992 and 1993, and the Algerian Cup four times, in 1975, 1984, 1985 and 1996. The 1971 title was the first championship in the club's history, and the consecutive league wins of 1992 and 1993 stand out in the domestic record. The 1996 season added a double, with the Algerian Cup won together with the League Cup. The club also won the Arab Cup Winners' Cup in 1997 and 1998, followed by the Arab Super Cup in 1999.

The second places tell the rest of the story, because the club finished league runners up in 1968, 1969, 1987, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2000. Seven second places beside four titles show that MC Oran finished in the top two in eleven seasons between 1968 and 2000. The club also holds the Algerian record for first division appearances, having played in the top flight from its start in 1962 until relegation in 2007-08, then winning promotion back in 2008-09. For a reader sizing up a club quickly, that long stay among the elite is an honour of its own.

From 1917 to the Miloud Hadefi Stadium: The History in Brief

The club was founded on 1 January 1917 and the present club was formed on 14 May 1946, so MC Oran already had decades behind them when the Algerian top flight began in 1962. Home is the Miloud Hadefi Stadium, which holds 40,148 and carries the name of one of the club's own notable figures. Three successive years capture their rise: a league runners up finish in 1987, the championship in 1988 and a continental final in 1989. Raja Casablanca won that African Cup of Champions Clubs decider on penalties.

Championships in 1992 and 1993 extended Oran's domestic success into another decade. Their 1994 African Cup of Champions Clubs campaign ended one round short of the final. During 1996, MC Oran combined two domestic cups with a CAF Cup quarter final appearance. Their 1997 achievements paired an African Cup Winners' Cup quarter final place with the Arab Cup Winners' Cup title. They retained the Arab trophy in 1998 and added the Arab Super Cup in 1999.
