Samy Frioui was born on 7 September 1991 in Kouba, a district located east of Algiers. He began playing football in the youth categories of USM Alger. He made a few sporadic appearances in the first team, before finally integrating the senior workforce during the 2013–2014 season, taking advantage of the decision of Rolland Courbis, then coach of USMA, not to carry out any recruitment during the transfer window. summer and instead promote five club prospects. Frioui scored a goal during his first start in a derby against USM El Harrach.[2] but failed to win in the team since he only took part in six games in a season that sees USMA win the championship.
