The 2024–25 season was USM Alger's 63rd in existence, their 6th consecutive season in the top flight of the Algerian basketball, USM Alger are participating in this season's editions of the Algerian Cup and the Super Cup.

Overview

After the withdrawal of Saïd Allik who decided not to run for a new term, Allik has expressed his desire to pass the torch, providing an opportunity for new faces to take the reins of the club, on September 18, 2024, Djabrouni Fouad a member of the Judo Section, was elected as the new president of the CSA/USMA. Djabrouni received 16 votes out of 24 voters, while the other candidate, Khebaz Hamid the treasurer received only 7 votes.^[1]^[2] The first phase of the Super Division played in a two-legged format, 26 rounds in total. At the end of this phase, the top eight teams in the standings will play the Play-offs, while the remaining six teams will play the Play-downs.^[4] The FABB also announced the renewal of the decision prohibiting foreign players from playing in the Super Division, the FABB which set the deadline for submitting the commitment file to September 30.^[4]

The first match of the new season was against CSC Gué de Constantine at home. USM Alger was behind in the first three quarters, and in the fourth and final quarter, USMA reduced the score to one point, which was not enough to receive its first defeat. On December 3, 2024, WO Boufarik star Lamouri Merahi joined USM Alger. On December 5, 2024, after leading USM Alger to return to the podium with two league and cup titles, coach Réda El Hachemi left for rival club MC Alger. On January 31, 2024, the Algerian Basketball Federation (FABB), announced the scheduling of the Basketball Super Cup match on February 11, 2025, at La Coupole d'Alger Arena between WO Boufarik, the Super Division champion, and USM Alger, the Algerian Cup champion.^[5] WO Boufarik beat USM Alger with a score of 70–59.^[6]

In Round 20, USM Alger traveled to Staoueli to face the Super Division leaders NB Staouéli in a crucial basketball game. USM Alger a team accustomed to playing a leading role in the championship, aimed for a victory to boost their chances of reaching the Playoffs. Coach Achour Sekhi's men dominated the first and second quarters and headed to the locker rooms with a three-point lead (31–34). In the second half, during the third quarter, USM Alger's performance declined, and they ended the quarter trailing by 11 points (54–43). In the fourth quarter, Coach Sekhi increased the pace of his players’ game, and despite their efforts, the match ended in a narrow defeat with a three-point gap (66–63).^[7]^[8]

USM Alger, the defending Algerian Cup champions, fell short in their bid to retain the trophy, losing 59–46 to newly crowned 2025 Algerian champions, NB Staouéli in the final of the 54th edition of the Algerian Cup. Despite the defeat, the youthful USMA side, which proudly carries a strong legacy in Algerian basketball with four Super Division titles (1966, 1967, 1969, 2023) and the 2024 Algerian Cup crown, showed encouraging signs for the future.^[9]^[10]^[11]

Fielding a rejuvenated squad under the club’s current rebuilding phase, USMA relied on several emerging prospects, including towering 2.16m (7'1") center Faredj Messaoudi (22 years old), who led the team’s efforts on the court. The match, played in a charged atmosphere at the Coupole of the Mohamed Boudiaf Olympic Complex, drew a record crowd, with the loyal USMA supporters passionately backing their young squad throughout the contest. While Staouéli’s experience ultimately proved decisive in the second half, USM Alger’s commitment to developing its next generation of talent was evident. The performance bodes well for the future, as the club looks ahead to upcoming league and cup campaigns with a promising core of young players.^[9]^[10]^[11]
