In the 1948–49 season, USM Alger was competing in the First Division for the 12th season French colonial era, as well as in the Forconi Cup.
Review
On July 17, 1948, USM Alger celebrated its annual anniversary, as usual, with a festive evening held in the new municipal hall. A large number of athletes and supporters attended to encourage this young institution. The evening was lively and rich in entertainment, featuring the play “Si Meziane” performed by Madame Hattab, as well as a performance by the rising artist Mahieddine Bachtarzi, who was just beginning to make a name for himself on the cultural scene. On August 2, 1948, USM Alger held a general assembly that brought together both former and new players at the club’s headquarters, with the aim of preparing for the new season and strengthening team cohesion. A few days later, starting on August 12, physical and technical training resumed, taking place in the new sports hall as well as on various available pitches. For this season, it was decided that USMA would host its opponents during championship matches at the Bab El Oued Stadium, then called La Consolation (formerly known as Stade d’Alger). This decision finally provided the club with a permanent home ground for its official fixtures.

Forconi Cup
In the third round, on October 3, 1948, USMA traveled to Blida to face SC Affreville. The match was tense, with the “Red and Black” taking the lead thanks to a goal from Hassan Chabri. But after only half an hour of play, the atmosphere deteriorated: the protests from the opposing side became uncontrollable. The referee, described by the press as weak and unable to manage the situation, was forced to abandon the match, thus awarding victory to USMA under extraordinary circumstances. The journey, however, ended prematurely. In the fourth round, on October 17, 1948, USM Alger came up against a formidable opponent from the Honor Division: AS Saint Eugène. The Algiers club suffered a heavy 3–0 defeat, which brought its cup run to an end despite a promising start.
