CRB was founded on 15 July 1962, ten days after the independence of Algeria, as "Chabab Riadhi de Belcourt", by the merger of two clubs from the same district, the "Widad Riadhi de Belcourt" and the "Club Athéltique de Belcourt", and has played at its current home ground, the 20 August 1955 Stadium, ever since.
