History

On June 15, 1947, at Leveilley Coffee Kaddour (now Maqaria), 180 members met to decide on the merger of three clubs based in Hussein Dey: Nedjma Sports Hussein Dey, the Ideal Club Cooler and Esperance Sportive de Leveilley. As a result of the merger, NA Hussein Dey was established. On July 19, 2024, The leaders of three Amateur Ligue 2 clubs from the Wilaya of Algiers at the initiative of NA Hussein Dey organized a joint press conference in order to send a message to the President of the Republic. Indeed, the leaders of the three Algerian clubs, namely NA Hussein Dey, RC Kouba and USM El Harrach, feel aggrieved since three other clubs were bought by public companies. The NAHD, RCK and USMH estimate their annual budget at 15 billion centimes (600,000 euros) each. By sending a joint letter they hope to be heard by the authorities.^[2] On July 23, 2024, the NAHD's appeal was heard since the club was finally entitled to sponsorship from a public company. NA Hussein Dey is officially a subsidiary of Sonatrach, namely ENAC, the company specializing in pipelines.^[3]
