In addition to the domestic league, NC Magra 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.^[4]^[5] However, the Ligue de Football Professionnel decided to postpone the start of the Ligue 1 by a week, on September 21.^[6]

On August 14, 2024, Azzedine Bennacer was re-elected as president of NC Magra for a new term. In a statement to the media, Bennacer once again called for the arrival of a national company, like other professional clubs, to take over the destiny of SSPA NC Magra.^[7] Bennacer added "We have been informed that the club is going to be bought by the Groupe Cosider. We are still waiting for the arrival of the company in question. I can assure that within forty-eight hours the transfer of ownership will be completed. We are up to date with our balance sheets and accounting." Regarding the stadium works and the disputes at the CRL level, the president expects help from local authorities.^[7]
