Review
The clubs CRB Dar Beida and US Sétif secured promotion to the Algerian Basketball Super Division following their successful campaigns in the final promotion tournament held in Bordj Bou Arréridj. CRB Dar Beida finished at the top of the standings with six points, remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament.[1][2] US Sétif followed in second place with five points, thus also earning promotion. Despite also finishing with five points, US Biskra missed out on a return to the top flight, while US Sidi Amar, who ended with four points, will remain in Nationale 1 for the upcoming season. This return to the Super Division was seen as well-deserved for both CRB Dar Beida and US Sétif, given their strong performances throughout the season and their consistency during the promotion phase.[1][2]
Following the regular meeting of the Federal Bureau No. 07 held on June 12, 2025, a series of key decisions and recommendations were approved, including the following: The start of the Super Division for the 2025–26 sports season has been officially scheduled for Friday, September 13, 2025. The U20 championship will commence on Saturday, September 6, 2025, adopting a new organizational structure aimed at reducing travel distances particularly in the southern regions (Division 2) in accordance with a calendar to be issued by the National Technical Department and additionally, national clubs affiliated with the Algerian Basketball Federation are authorized to field and utilize two (02) foreign players, subject to regulatory and administrative conditions that will be defined and communicated later by the National Technical Directorate.[3]
The curtain rises September 12, on the 2025–26 season of the Algerian Basketball Super Division, featuring a total of 14 participating teams and a new competition format recently adopted by the Algerian Basketball Federation (FABB). The 2025–26 Super Division will be played in two phases: a 26-match regular season, followed by play-offs for the title and play-downs to avoid relegation. The top six teams will qualify directly for the play-offs, while the bottom four will battle to avoid relegation. The play-off series will be played in best-of-three or best-of-five formats, with home advantage given to the higher-ranked teams.[4]
Algerian basketball clubs, especially in the men’s category, continue to be absent from regional and continental competitions. Indeed, no club from the Super Division will be present at the Arab Club Basketball Championship scheduled to take place from September 25 to October 6 in Dubai. This withdrawal will once again deprive local players of the opportunity to compete against teams that, by recruiting American and African players, have already pulled ahead. According to Ziad Abderrahmane, president of the 3×3 basketball commission and a member of the federation, this decision is purely for financial reasons. Regarding the African competition namely the BAL (Basketball Africa League) Ziad said that no Algerian team will take part in the qualifying stage for the final phase. “We received an invitation from FIBA Africa. The teams we contacted apologized. They all gave the same response: financial problems.[5]
On September 21, 2025, the Algerian Basketball Federation informed all Super Division Men’s clubs that compiling statistics during Super Division games for the 2025–26 season is strictly mandatory. Each club is required to appoint two (02) qualified technicians to carry out this task. Clubs that do not have statisticians may use the services of the accredited Statisticians’ Committee, at a cost of 3,500 Algerian dinars per match. The FABB reminds that any failure to comply with this obligation will result in the application of disciplinary sanctions as stipulated in the current regulations.[6]
