US Marocaine

Union Sportive Marocaine (USM) (Arabic: الاتحاد الرياضي المغربي) was a Moroccan multi-sport club based in Casablanca. Founded on April 13, 1913, by Louis Andrieux, it became one of the most successful and influential sports organizations during the French protectorate in Morocco. USM was considered one of the pioneers of organized sport in Morocco. Established only one year after the beginning of the French Protectorate and two years before the creation of Morocco's first football championship, the club played a major role in the development of Moroccan sports. Throughout its history, USM featured several internationally renowned athletes, including Mario Zatelli, Larbi Ben Barek, Just Fontaine, and world boxing champion Marcel Cerdan.
