Review

The 1955–1956 season represents a significant historical milestone in the history of USM Blida, as it was the last season in which the club participated before withdrawing from official competitions. The team competed in the league until the fifteenth round, which took place on March 11, 1956.

In the league competition, USM Blida delivered a solid performance, playing fifteen matches in total. The team achieved seven victories, three draws, and suffered five defeats, a record that reflected its strength and competitive spirit despite the difficulties surrounding it. During this season, two players stood out as the team’s top scorers: Abdelkader Maazouz and Mohamed Sebkhaoui, each scoring seven goals and playing a key role in the squad’s success.

In the cup competition, USM Blida continued its strong performances by securing two important victories against USM Hadjout and USM Ouest Mitidja. These wins allowed the team to qualify for the North African Cup match. In that encounter, USM Blida faced GC Mascara but was defeated by four goals to one, with the team’s only goal scored by its leading striker, Abdelkader Maazouz.

Although the season could not be completed due to the club’s withdrawal, what USM Blida achieved during the 1955–1956 season remains a notable chapter in its history, illustrating the club’s heritage and the fighting spirit of its players and supporters during that period.
