Overview
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.[2]
USM Alger has made a successful start to the Super Division, stringing together two straight victories in the opening rounds of the Super Division, confirming its ambitions. In a tough away fixture on the court of CS Tlemcen, the Usmists showed character to snatch a narrow 63–61 win. In a game that went down to the wire, it was Ahmed Boutiba (17 points) who carried the team offensively, well supported by Bacim Medjoubi, who proved valuable on both ends of the floor with 8 rebounds. Team spirit also played its part, as four different players each dished out 2 assists, a clear reflection of the collective mindset driving the squad.
Back home at Salle OMS Abdelaziz Ben Tifour in Hydra, USMA delivered a complete performance against WO Boufarik, cruising to a convincing 83–68 victory. The trio of Faredj Messaoudi (14 pts), Laamouri Merahi (13 rebounds) and Zakariya Khodja (8 assists) perfectly led the Reds and Blacks to a commanding success, offering the fans a solid display both offensively and defensively.[3] With these two wins, USM Alger now sits on 4 points, sharing the top spot in the standings with NB Staouéli. Driven by a balanced team effort and standout individual contributions, the Usmists have made the perfect start to the Super Division and have sent a strong signal to their rivals.
On September 26, USM Alger faced their city rivals MC Alger in a highly contested derby. The match ended in a narrow defeat for USMA, with a final score of 69–68. USMA had taken the lead after three quarters (16–14, 16–19, 18–20), but eventually gave way in the last period, which was won by MC Alger (19–15). On an individual level, Ilyes Fodil finished as the team’s top scorer with 15 points, while Laamouri Merahi delivered an outstanding performance, recording 16 rebounds and 7 assists. Despite these efforts, USM Alger left the court with a one-point loss in this Algiers derby.[4] On October 17, 2025, USM Alger came close to pulling off an upset on the court of NB Staouéli, narrowly losing 61–64 after a thrilling encounter. Trailing by 13 points at halftime (27–40), the Red and Black mounted an impressive comeback to level the score (49–49) before the final quarter. Despite their efforts and solid defense, they conceded in the dying seconds on a decisive three-pointer from Amine Bensalah. USMA remains 9th in the standings with 9 points.[5][6]
