The North African Cup is an old football competition organized in North Africa since 1930. It was dissolved after the 1956 edition, due to the independence of Morocco and Tunisia. After the independence of Morocco and Tunisia from France, three Algerian leagues remained participating in the cup, Algiers, Constantine and Oran.[1][2][3]
