Creation 

Order permitting the African Club October 4, 1920
Club Africain was ready to operate as soon as 1919 but that delayed the beginning was the name he was going to take (Islamic African Club). Indeed, this name has been questioned by the authorities of the French protectorate since, at that time, any Tunisian club had the right to exist only with the permission of the authorities. So it is that on October 4 1920, the club is officially allowed to operate but its route does not begin on that date.

Club Africain, as claimed by some of its founding fathers, is a natural extension of the African Stadium (association founded in 1915 and dissolved in 1918) he keeps the color, spirit, part of the name and a core of players (particularly Mohamed Soudani). This is also the president of the constituent meeting of the club held in a café in Bab Jadid belonging to a family now clubiste. It is noteworthy that the first headquarters of the club is the Makhzen Essouf (wool deposit) which is located in the district of El Morkadh.

Since its introduction, the application for authorization is subject to blackmail because the approval is subject to three conditions:

appointment to the CA the head of a French national president;
changing colors chosen (ie the red and white), which forced the club to play its first season with a blue shirt;
the renunciation of the national emblem (crescent and star).
It is then to force clubbists to steer clear of any reference to the national flag and to alienate his whole identity base. The terms of the compromise are categorically rejected, especially the first point as his future rival and neighbor, IS founded on 15 January 1919 was a French President Louis Montassier.

Finally, the fury forced the authorities of the time to give in and give the African Club a historic concession on Tunisian nationality of the President and the national emblem which now adorns the club's jersey. The founding fathers of the club, much more intransigent ultimately win the case and impose a desk entirely Tunisian director and chaired by Bechir Ben Mustapha.
