Association Sportive Olympique de Chlef ({{langx|ar|الجمعية الرياضية أولمبي الشلف}}), known as ASO Chlef or simply ASO for short, is an Algerian professional football club based in Chlef, founded in 1947. The club colours are red and white. Their home stadium, Mohamed Boumezrag Stadium, has a capacity of some 20,000 spectators. The club is currently playing in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1.

History

ASO Chlef was founded on June 13, 1947, as Association Sportive d'Orléansville, Orléansville being the colonial name of Chlef at the time.{{cite web | url = http://www.asochlef.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=52 | title = HISTOIRE DU CLUB | author = cheliff.org | publisher = ASOChlef.info | access-date = April 25, 2012 | date = May 12, 2008 | language = fr | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110906091305/http://www.asochlef.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=52 | archive-date = September 6, 2011 | url-status = usurped | df = mdy-all }} The club was founded by the indigenous Algerian Muslim community of the city who wanted a club to rival the already existing European club in the city, Groupement Sportif Orléansville. In its first season of existence, the club finished second in the third division. In the following two seasons, it won promotion to the first division. After Algeria gained its independence in 1962, the name of the city was changed from Orléansville to El Asnam and the club changed its name to Asnam Sportive Olympique, keeping its original ASO initials.

On June 21, 2005, ASO Chlef won its first domestic title after beating USM Sétif 1–0 in the final of the 2005 Algerian Cup with a goal from Mohamed Messaoud in extra-time.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dzfoot.com/fiches/fiche2.php?fiche_id=1745|title=Fiche de Match|website=www.dzfoot.com|access-date=2017-09-13|archive-date=2016-03-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303222112/http://www.dzfoot.com/fiches/fiche2.php?fiche_id=1745|url-status=dead}} By winning the Cup, they also qualified for continental competition for the first time, earning a spot in the 2006 CAF Confederation Cup. However, their run in African competition came to a quick end. After walking over ASC Entente of Mauritania in the preliminary round, they lost to AS Douanes of Senegal 1–0 on aggregate in the first round.

In the 2007–08 season, ASO Chlef achieved its best league finish to date by finishing second in the Algerian Championnat National, 10 points behind champions JS Kabylie.

On June 21, 2011, led by head coach Meziane Ighil, ASO Chlef won its first Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 title after second-placed CR Belouizdad lost to USM El Harrach.[http://www.dzfoot.com/news-9360/ligue-1-l-aso-chlef-est-champion-2010-2011/ Ligue 1 : L'ASO Chlef est champion 2010/2011] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110623084714/http://www.dzfoot.com/news-9360/ligue-1-l-aso-chlef-est-champion-2010-2011/ |date=June 23, 2011 }}

On May 12, 2012, ASO Chlef beat Sudanese club Al-Hilal 4–2 in a penalty shoot-out in the second round of the 2012 CAF Champions League after the two legs ended up tied 2–2 to qualify to the group stage for the first time in the club's history.{{cite web|url=http://www.dzfoot.com/article-2258-champions-league-l-aso-chlef-se-qualifie-en-phase-de-poule.php |title=L'ASO Chlef se qualifie en phase de poule |publisher=DZFoot |language=fr |date=May 12, 2012 |access-date=May 13, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120514094810/http://www.dzfoot.com/article-2258-champions-league-l-aso-chlef-se-qualifie-en-phase-de-poule.php |archive-date=May 14, 2012 }}

On June 22, 2023, the club led by head coach Abdelkader Amrani beat CR Belouizdad 2–1 in the final of the 2022-23 Algerian Cup to win its second cup title.{{cite web|url=https://www.lfp.dz/article/view?id=3362#:~:text=Le%20jeudi%2022%20juin%202023,pr%C3%A9sident%20de%20la%20R%C3%A9publique%20M | title=FINALE DE LA COUPE d'ALGERIE MOBILIS 2023 l'ASO CHLEF REMPORTE LE TROPHEE - Ligue de Football Professionnel }}
