All statistics correct as of 29 May 2025.

The 2024–25 Ligue Inter Régions is the 62th season of the Algerian Third Division since its establishment.[1][2] The 2024–2025 Inter-Regions Championship season officially came to an end, revealing the six clubs promoted to the Amateur Ligue 2. These are MO Béjaïa, NR Beni Oulbane, JS Tixeraine, WA Tlemcen, CRB Adrar, and CR Béni Thour. Each of these clubs earned their promotion after a campaign that was as inspiring as it was competitive.[3][4]

In the Centre-East group, MO Béjaïa left no room for doubt throughout the season. Consistent and solid, Mustapha Biskri’s men dominated their group from start to finish, logically securing their return to Ligue 2. Their discipline and collective strength were the cornerstones of a well-managed campaign.[5] In the East group, the season’s biggest surprise came from NR Beni Oulbane, a modest team from the Skikda Province, founded in 1977. The club made history by securing promotion to Ligue 2 for the first time ever an unforgettable achievement that will remain a landmark in the region’s football history.[3]

The Centre-West group delivered a thrilling finish. In a tightly contested race, JS Tixeraine clinched promotion thanks to a superior goal difference over CR Zaouia. The final sprint went in their favor, and May 23, will be remembered forever by the residents of Tixeraine, a neighborhood nestled between Birkhadem and Bir Mourad Raïs. In the West group, WA Tlemcen returned to Ligue 2 after a fierce battle with USM Bel Abbès. A crucial 2–1 victory against their direct rivals in the penultimate round made the difference, allowing the Zianides to secure their much-anticipated promotion.[3][6]

In the South-West group, CRB Adrar was simply untouchable. The team dominated the championship from start to finish, asserting itself as a powerhouse throughout the season and earning promotion without contest. Lastly, in the South-East group, the competition was far more intense. CR Béni Thour had to fight until the final day to claim top spot, edging out NRB Touggourt by just a single point in a nail-biting conclusion to the season.[3][7]
