The North African Football Championship , ( French : Championnat d'Association de Football Nord-Africain ) was a football club competition in the French areas of North Africa. The competition, introduced by the French Federation in 1921, lasted until 1955, when the colonies gradually became independent. During the Second World War , the competition was temporarily suspended. Initially four and later five champions from Morocco , Tunisia and the three Algerian regions of Algiers , Oran and Constantine took part in the competition.
