Presently, ASAM competes in the Inter-Régions Division.
History
The club ascended to Algeria's premier football division for the first time during the 1983–84 season after earning promotion from the second tier. Their highest league achievement occurred in the 1990–91 campaign, where they secured third place and remained competitive near the top of the standings in the ensuing seasons.
AS Aïn M'lila reached their inaugural Algerian Cup final in 1993–94, narrowly falling 1–0 to JS Kabylie at Algiers’ Stade du 5 Juillet.
During the 1998–99 season, despite finishing eighth, ASAM was relegated due to a restructuring that restricted top-flight clubs to the top six teams from each group. They bounced back after a single season by finishing fourth in the second division, regaining promotion.
The 2001–02 season ended with ASAM placing sixteenth, resulting in relegation once more. Subsequent changes to league formats led to their demotion to the newly created Ligue Inter-Régions de football for the 2003–04 season.
After Algeria’s top two divisions adopted professional status, ASAM advanced to participate in the Championnat National de Football Amateur during the 2010–11 season.
On May 12, 2017, AS Aïn M'lila made a return to Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 2. They achieved promotion to Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 on May 25, 2018, by securing second place in Ligue 2.
