History

Although the club was founded in 1948, it is considered the first club in the city in terms of titles and achievements as well as the popular base compared to Ittihad Mohammedia, created a year before.

Adopted until today, the club has chosen a red and black striped jersey as its official colors, considered one of the most beautiful and charismatic jerseys in national football of all time.

The SCCM was founded by passionated men who could not bear the emptiness left by the withdrawal of the Fedala Sport team after France ended its protectorat on Morocco in 1956.

Thus, the club played in the second division before joining the national elite under the banner of the Royal Football Federation. This promotion was acquired at the end of the 1959–1960 season.

The SCCM had its best period in the 1970s and 1980s. During its golden age, the club was one of the main providers of the national selection which won the only African Cup of Nations on its list of achievements until 'to today: The African Ballon d'Or and historical scorer of the national selection Ahmed Faras, Hassan Amcharrat Tahar Raâd and other players of the golden generation to name a few ...

The quest for the first championship title was carried out in 1980, after winning two Throne Cup titles, the Moroccan domestic cup in 1972 and 1975.

After playing in the Moroccan First Division in 2008–09, in the 2018–19 season Mohammedia was playing in the third division.[1]
