The 2024–25 season, is JS Saoura's 12th consecutive season in the top flight of Algerian football. In addition to the domestic league, JS Saoura are participating in the Algerian Cup. On June 27, 2024, The federal office approved the calendar for the 2024–25 Ligue 1 season with the aim of ending on May 31, 2025. The first round is scheduled for September 14, this delay is motivated both by an extended end of the 2023–24 season but also by the holding of early presidential elections which will take place on September 7, 2024.[5][6] However, the Ligue de Football Professionnel decided to postpone the start of the Ligue 1 by a week, on September 21.[7]
On August 8, 2024, the Minister of Housing, Urban Planning and the City, accompanied by the Minister of Youth and Sports Abderrahmane Hammad, gave the official start to the construction works of the new complex in Bechar, which will be allocated to JS Saoura. This project, which covers an area of 40 hectares, includes an indoor football stadium with a capacity of 25,000 seats, an athletics stadium with 6,500 seats, an Olympic swimming pool with 1,200 seats, and a multi-purpose hall with 400 seats, as well as a car park, according to the project's technical sheet.[8][9]
