In 1954/55 the Abidjan champions were ASEC.

USC Bassam won four championships between 1947 and 1950, in the district league of Abidjan.

NB: one local source claims that Africa won 15, Stella 2 championships until 
    2001, suggesting that the 1979 championship may have gone to Africa Sports
    (however, Stella played in the African Champions' Cup 1980, as in 1982 
    and 1985, so presumably that source is wrong).
