APDSF Tizi-Ouzou-Wikipedia

L’ Association for the development of Tizi-Ouzou female sport (in Arabic : Association for the Development of Women Sports Tizi Ouzou ), more commonly abridged in APDSF Tizi-Ouzou , is a former female football section of Kabylia sports youth.

Created in 1994 with the aim of promoting female sport, this pioneering team of women’s and modern Algerian football, remains above all famous in Algeria for having been the first champion in Algeria in football during the 1998 -1999 season.

However since the club president, Mohand Chérif Hannachi decreed that it was no longer possible to award a budget to the other sports sections, the team found himself leaving the A.P.C. from Tizi Ouzou. This resumed life under the leadership of former players of the club who in order to continue the promotion of women’s sport renamed this club in Association for the development of women’s sport (A.P.D.S.F. Tizi-Ouzou), abandoning that of J.S.K. . After a stay at the regional level in the 2008 – 2009 season (explaining by the fact that when a team stops its activities automatically demoted), the team repeated since the Algerian Women’s Football Championship division.

Like her male counterpart, the now ex -female section of JS Kabylia, was born in a very unstable political and civil context. The male team is old and was born in the French colonial era, moreover at the end of a appalling war and a series of disastrous events. Nevertheless, the year 1994 is part of a difficult decade for Algeria which at that time experienced the civil war, where let us recall the, the Islamists who had won the elections were hunting power by the army. This had brought the most radical to train militias that indulge in terrorism. When we know the condition of women in Islam, he turned out to be dangerous in this political and civil context to create a female football team.

However to fully understand the birth of this team we have to look even further back, under French domination. Algerian sport is directly linked to French sport. France as a colonizer has filed the foundations for modern sport in its colonies, as England has done so in its. If Algerian male football has its origins in colonial French football, you should know that it is the same for women’s football.

Football in Algeria therefore appeared in colonial times with the creation of clubs in the wilaya of Oran, such as Cal Oran in 1897 hitherto considered as the oldest football club to create in Africa and in the Arab world, Even if he was a colonial club. The women followed the step of their male counterparts and set out to football from the start of XX ^{It is} century with the creation of female sections within these clubs. If this is done naturally in Algeria, for what it is in France it seems to be more complicated.

In France, women’s football teams appear independent of existing male clubs. We can point out the birth of Fémina Sport Paris Club Women’s Omnisports during the year 1912; But also from the front other Parisian club founded the same year; Without forgetting the Paris sportsmen at the end of the years ten. Very little considered in France, these Parisian teams drown in the chaos of French football which reigned at that time which let us recall it was governed by five different federations which each proposed a championship. In order to exist these teams had the idea of ​​creating a federation: the “Federation of Sports Women’s Societies in France”.

In reality this structure was born from a dispute that opposed the Baron Pierre de Coubertin founder of the modern Olympic Games and Alice Milliat President of the female federation. This and the International Olympic Committee refused to integrate female athletes for games. Following this, the federation was created with the aim of fighting for the promotion of female sport by organizing for example the world’s world games. As for football, this federation organized a championship which took place from 1918 to 1932 for fifteen seasons, before being abandoned.

This “war of the sexes” which slowed down the development of women’s football in France did not have the same consequences in Algeria, where the public had accepted the practice of this sport by the fairer sex. The first women’s football meeting in Algeria took place on May 8, 1921 during the Algiers exhibition. This meeting opposed two female sections of two deans clubs that were AS Algiers and the Gallia Club Oran, created in 1921. We can consider that Algerian women’s football, even from colonial era, is one of the pioneers when we know that First international meeting in Europe took place a year earlier, in Manchester during the year 1920 between a Preston team and a French selection (score 0-2), with a return match in Paris (score 1-1) in front of twelve thousand people .

Women’s football in France which disappeared in 1932, the date of the last edition of the French FSFSF women’s football championship, will not reappear until 1974, under the aegis of the FFF.

The former Women’s Section of JS Kabylie is distinguished for the moment as one of the only two winning teams of the Algerian Women’s Football Championship. However, she also stands out from the other teams for being the first winner of this competition in the 1998-1999 season.
