مدينة غليزان : مدخل في تاريخها و دور رياضيها في تاريخ الجزائر

الملخص EN

The city of Relizane is considered as one of the cities of western Algeria which embraced, through various historical periods, several civilizations which made the plain of mina and the basin of Chlef a land of activities, given the natural and geographical diversity of the region ; the writings of researchers interested in local history have refuted all the assertions of the French authorities that have been made by the French writers, who have asserted that the emergence of the Relizane city is linked to the arrival of the French.

Relizane lived under the control of the tripartite occupation (Romans, Vandals, Bysantin) that the ancient Maghreb region experienced.

then liberated by Islamic conquest from the hand of byzantine colonialism ; in Islamic times, several Berber tribes inhabited the central Maghreb (Algeria), including : the Magrawa tribes, the Beni Mano tribes of Zenata, the Beni Yaloumi tribes who settled in the western part of Chlef, the Maghila tribes who inhabited at the mouth of the Chlef river in the district of Mazouna, and the Meknassa tribes who settled between Tahert and Relizane, and like other cities in Algeria, the Relizanis-population and scholars-fought against Spanish colonialism which occupied Mers el Kebir and Oran, and French colonialism which conquered all of Algeria.

sport was one of the means of struggle through which the inhabitants of Relizane tried to defend the national identity and raise the national flag despite all the arbitrary laws imposed by French colonization.

this study came to highlight several names of athletes who have honored Algeria on the international, continental and African forums.
