## Background

Prior to the 2011 final, JS Kabylie had reached the final of the Algerian Cup eight times, winning four of them. The last time the club had reached the final was in 2004, where they lost to USM Alger in penalties. The last time they won the trophy was in 1994, where they beat AS Ain M'lila 1-0 in the final with a goal from Tarek Hadj Adlane. On the other hand, USM El Harrach reached the final of the Algerian Cup just twice prior to the 2011 final, winning on both occasions. The last time they won was in 1987, where they beat JS Bordj Ménaïel 1-0 in the final.
