context_page_description: Chabab Riadhi de Belouizdad S.s.p.a, known as Chabab Belouizdad or CR Belouizdad or simply CRB for short, is an Algerian association football club based in the quarter of Belouizdad, Algiers, Algeria, that plays in the Ligue Professionnelle 1, the top flight of Algerian football. The club has competed in the top division for a record 55 seasons. In June 2010, Djamel Ghazli purchased the club and since his arrival has brought great success.
  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.
  CRB has traditionally worn a white home kit with the red trademark "V" on the front since inception.
  CRB has produced several notable players and established itself as a major force in both Algerian and Maghrebin football during the 1960s and 1970s, winning 10 major trophies in 8 seasons.

These two former clubs were known for playing football competitions in the French colonial era, and both were affiliated to the  'FFFA'  (French Football Federation) and the  'FLOT' '(Algiers Ligue de Football Association).
