Following urgent requests from certain clubs, the Algerian Football Federation has decided to increase the number of foreign players in the Ligue 1.[14] After having formally passed through the technical college chaired by Rabah Saâdane, the FAF ratified the increase in the number of foreigners per club from 3 to 5. However, that there is a provision intended to serve as a safeguard for the license of a foreign player or coach to be validated, the club must pay the federation a deposit equivalent to 12 months salary.[14] This is to protect against any financial dispute.[14]

After postponing its decision until the end of its meeting on November 25, and after studying other documents, in particular videos, the committee punished the team by ordering it to play four matches behind closed doors, two of which were suspended. It will also have to pay 200,000 DZD, not counting the financial compensation that the stadium manager will request.[15]

Notes
- ^ Stade d'Abidjan will play their home matches at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, instead of their regular stadium, Robert Champroux Stadium, both located in Abidjan, which did not meet CAF requirements.
- ^ The Al Ahly v CR Belouizdad match, originally scheduled to be played on 13 or 14 December, was rescheduled to be played on 22 December 2024 due to Al Ahly participation in the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
