History

The team was originally part of the Mouloudia Club d'Alger (MC Alger) club, but became a part of Groupement Sportif des Pétroliers (Arabic: المجمع الرياضي البترولي; English: Sports Group of Oil Fields) on 2 June 2008. Starting from the 1999–2000 season, the team has won numerous titles in Algeria.

On 30 November 2019, GSP qualified for the 2020 Basketball Africa League (BAL) by winning the West Division in the qualifying tournament.[2] The season was later re-scheduled to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. GSP lost its three game in the group stage.

From 2008 to 2020, the team was known as GS Pétroliers as it was part of the multi-sports club with that name.
