The money was sorely lacking, it was then that they were aware that they could not get by on their own; they got in touch with personalities of the city able to bring them a financial help and a representativeness near the administration to have a possible subsidy and certain facilities of access to the municipal stadium for the drives.

The idea began to take shape and Sidi Saïd Hanafi was given the task of initiating the procedure for creating the sports company by preparing the statutes and compiling an approval file.

Indeed, nationalist militants from the Comité d'Action Révolutionnaire Nord-Africain had infiltrated the various cultural and sports associations to promote the idea of independence, following the events that occurred in Setif.

Contacts were very quickly made and a few meetings were thus organized at the CGT headquarters, chaired by Hamouda Abbas with the sponsorship of Saadi Ouakli, a retired former school principal and president of the district's veterans.

At the end of the last meeting held at the headquarters of the CGT with the aim of finalizing the project by preparing the statutes with the constitution of the first general assembly of the club, a questioning of the objective of the creation of the new sports society divided the leaders and the young people.

Were present : On the eve of the month of Ramadan of the year 1946, it is at the café called "La Jeunesse Sportive" located rue de l'ancienne poste[13] held by Mohamed Seghir Baïlèche dit Dris and Rezki Bournane dit Diouni, that the invitations of the members of the constituent general assembly were grouped together and distributed by Saïd Amirouche, Ali Benslama, Boualem Iratni and Ali Stambouli.

Among the members of the CGT present at this meeting, Hamouda Abbas who wanted to make the club a sports company with a corporate purpose and therefore an affiliation to the FSGT, signified his disagreement and the withdrawal of his institution.

Mohamed Seghir Baïleche offered his commercial premises to house the headquarters of the new association while waiting to find something better, and so the "Café de la Jeunesse" served as a gathering place for the JSK.

Qualified along with Widad Adabi Boufarik, GS Hydra and OM Saint-Eugénois, the JSK must avoid the last place of this pool in order to move up to the first division of Algiers.

Many members of the JSK: leaders, players and supporters were militants of the National Liberation Front like the secretary general, Mohamed Baïlèche, who was responsible for political and military Tizi-Ouzou.

He advocates the policy of rejuvenating the workforce and integrates the club's ex-juniors, namely Djaffar Harouni, Ferhat Merad, Smaïl Karamani and Aziz Tamine.

He had a wall built on which squares are drawn to improve the accuracy of passes and shots on goal, and before starting training he drove stakes on the sideline allowing players to do slaloms with or without balls.

These new changes did not take long to show convincing results since the young people of JSK finished the first leg of the Honor Division championship in first place with 10 wins for two draws and only one defeat.

In the Algerian Cup, CR Belcourt won the trophy for the first time against RC Kouba, an edition which saw JS Kabylie lose at the stage of the 32nd finals against their pet peeve WA Boufarik with a score of two goals to nil.

JSK, having finished the previous year in fifth place in the ranking, cannot claim to be part of it and remains once again in the Center group of the Honor Division which then becomes the third level in the new hierarchy of Algerian football.

The game began at a committed and sustained pace, the first to stand out were the Kabyles who, thanks to a magnificent left-footed shot from Karamani, allowed his club to lead in the twelfth minute.

In the Algerian Cup, the JSK will be beaten in the 32nd round stage, by AS Orléansville in Mouzaia, in an edition marked by the final victory of ES Sétif, which won its third title.

The club also won the Algerian Cup, and Nacer Bouiche finished top scorer in the championship for the second time in his career with 36 goals, an unequaled record to date.

Came from MC Alger in 1999, Hocine Gasmi was of great interest to RC Lens but he died three days later on 21 May 2000 following his last goal scored against USM Annaba on 18 May 2000, in the 1 November 1954 Stadium of Tizi Ouzou.

After a heavy defeat against Entente sportive Sétifienne in the league, Belayachi was ousted a few days before the first leg of the CAF Cup final, he was replaced by the duo Mahieddine Khalef and Nacer Sandjak.

The following season, 2001–02, marked a new change at the technical helm with the return of Kamel Mouassa who succeeded with the team in the feat of retaining their African CAF Cup title against the Tunisians of ES Sahel thanks to the away goals rule (2–1 then 1–0).

This bodes well for an Algerian Super Cup between these two formations, for an unprecedented Kabyle derby at this national level, which was ultimately not contested because of the work on the ground at the Stadium of 5 July 1962, but also because the JSK is playing the CAF Champions League with a particularly busy schedule and therefore refuses to participate in this competition.

Thousands of supporters are unhappy with the results and large marches take place in the streets of Tizi Ouzou to demand the departure of President Mohand Cherif Hannachi.

President of the club for 24 years, successfully during the first half of his reign, Mohand Cherif Hannachi has since disappointed the supporters of JSK, which has ended up losing its former luster due to chaotic management.

On November 29, 2022, Djaffar Ait Mouloud, president of the CSA which owns JS Kabylie, announced that an agreement with the public company Mobilis would take place for the purchase of 80% of the club's shares.

Under Miloud Hamdi management, by beating Petro de Luanda of Angola 1–0, at the Stade du 5 Juillet, in Algiers, Algeria on March 18, 2023, during the group stage of the 2022–23 CAF Champions League, JSK reaches the quarter-finals of the most prestigious African competition, for the first time in 13 years.

Highly criticized and little liked by the Kabyles, particularly for its architecture (a single covered stand, fence avoiding seeing the match) and the insecurity that reigns there, the 1 November 1954 Stadium is still the object of several projects aimed at improving it.

The prestige of the Canaries (nickname of the JSK) did not come simply from its exceptional records; in fact it must be understood above all that this club played a political role in the defense of Kabyle cultural identity.

Other coaches brought titles to the club: the JSK thus won the CAF Cup under the orders of the Sendjak-Khalef duo (who replaced Nadjmeddine Belayachi just before the final of 2000), Kamel Mouassa, and Jean-Yves Chay in 2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively.

Among the coaches of the JSK, there are 32 foreign technicians who are 12 French, four Romanians, three Tunisians, three Belgians, two Hungarians, a Polish, a Yugoslav, a Swiss, a Brazilian, a Bulgarian, an Italian, a Portuguese and a German.
