The Sahel Sporting Club , Sahel SC and SSC for short , is a football club from Niamey in Niger . The club has won 13 Nigerian championship titles so far, making them the record champions.
history
From 1965 to the end of the First Republic in 1974, Nigerien football was not organized in clubs, but in sectors (Secteurs) of the Fédération Nigérienne de Football . The sectors were based on individual city districts. After the Supreme Military Council came to power , the sectors were soon transformed into associations. The Sahel SC emerged from Sector 7 (Secteur 7) . The city authorities of Niamey granted the association a provisional license to operate in February 1975. The club Olympic FC de Niamey , the city rival of the Sahel SC, was created at the same time from Sector 6 (Secteur 6) .
At the beginning, the club had five age groups - Pupille , Minime , Cadet , Junior and Senior - and seven permanent coaches. By a decree of February 25, 1988 the approval of the association, which until then had been of a provisional nature, was institutionalized. In Ligue 1 , the top division of the Fédération Nigérienne de Football, the Sahel SC became record champions. The club was most successful in the 1990s with five championship titles. The structure of the age groups was changed in 2002: Pupille , Minime and Cadet were combined to Cadet and Junior was renamed Espoir .
