After 1956, who contested in the revived "Algerian championship"?

  • Morocco and Tunisia

  • Algerian clubs only

  • All North African teams

  • European expat teams

Answer

Algerian clubs were the sole participants in the resurrected "Algerian championship" after 1956. This development marked a significant shift from the pre-1956 era, during which French clubs had also competed in the championship. The change reflected the increasing political autonomy and sporting independence of Algeria, which gained its independence from France in 1962.
