The Classico algérien is the name given to matches between MC Alger and JS Kabylie, This name is inspired by the Spanish El Clásico between Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona.

MC Alger represents the capital of the country Algiers while JS Kabylie (more titled Algerian clubs) represents Kabylia. These meetings became important, following the case n ° 107 of the disciplinary committee concerning the JSK-MCA match, which caused serious incidents on and around the field during the 1962–63 season. Indeed this case constitutes the first serious case, treated by the disciplinary commission of the very young Algerian football championship, called "critérium honneur". Heavy sanctions are imposed on the two teams, press releases are made public to the attention of the clubs of the League of Algiers and to the Algerian people as a whole in order to recall respect for the practice of this sport and also to improve the image of the country abroad. Since this affair the matches between the two clubs have been strewn with a certain rivalry where each of the two clubs must not lose to the other. Despite this painful episode in the early days of Algerian football some matches remain sporting references for supporters of both camps because they are two of the most successful clubs in Algeria whether on the continental, regional or national level.

MC Alger is known to be the dean of Algerian football and JS Kabylie is known to be the most successful. Both have a well-stocked record, and have been part of Algerian football folklore since the independence of Algeria. Their domination is not limited to the borders of Algeria, but also in Africa and in the Arab world. JSK with its seven African trophies and MCA, the first Algerian club to win an African cup, have often played the leading roles in international competitions. There is also the fact that these two clubs often compete for the head of the championship, but this is not the only point, there are two other causes that led to the birth of this rivalry.[1] First of all, the two clubs have a common history since the beginnings of Algerian football. Indeed it must be remembered that during the colonial period, the JSK, a young newly created sports association, was refused subsidies from the colonial government of the time, in the town of Tizi Ouzou. He prefers to help the colonial team of the Olympique de Tizi-Ouzou which is an older formation, rather than to help the new Muslim sports association.[2] Having no sports equipment, JS Kabylie receives help from MC Alger.[3] This club showed them where to acquire jerseys in order to allow JSK to structure itself.[4] The canaries which currently wear the colors yellow and green have long wore the colors red and green because of the FLN's appeal in the early years of the Algerian revolution.
