Union Sportive Madinet d'Oran ({{langx|ar|الإتحاد الرياضي لمدينة وهران}}), known as USM Oran or simply USMO for short, is an Algerian football club based in Oran.

History
The club was founded on March 1, 1926, under the name of Union Sportive Musulmane Oranaise in Medina Jedida, a famous popular quarter of Oran, by the Algerian nationalist Sadok Boumaza with Bendouba "El Fellous", Benkoula, Boumefraa and others. They decided to create a team which became a multi-sports club some days after its creation. The club is the first one of North Africa to put the word Musulmane ({{langx|en|Muslim}}) in its name to differentiate from other European colonial teams.{{cite web |url=http://www.djazairess.com/fr/lexpression/34421 |title=USM Oran : Les " Noir et Blanc " en couleur |work=L'Expression Magazine |publisher=A.
