History
The club was founded in 1936 as Groupement Sportif d'Alger Hydra. In 1962, after the independence of Algeria, the name of the club was changed to Hydra AC by Ali Benfadah, a player at the club at the time, in reference to his former club, French club Le Havre AC which is known as Le HAC or just HAC for short.[3]
