2023–24 Algerian Basketball Championship

The 2023–24 Super Division (62nd edition), Algeria's top tier basketball club competition, ran from October 7, 2023, through May 14, 2024. President of the Algerian Basketball Federation Rabah Bouarifi, said that the competition system has been changed, as it will be held in one group consisting of 16 teams instead of two groups, each group consisting of nine teams, as was the case last season. Another change will be made during the following season, to reach the Super Division of 14 teams only.

Review The first day of the Super Division did not have any real surprises. True to their ambitions, the championship leaders marked the occasion with a successful first outing. USM Alger reigning Algerian champion, which was to begin the defense of its title against the newly promoted ASS Oum El Bouaghi, did not play due to its participation in the 35th edition of the Arab Club Basketball Championship. At the end of the 2nd round there are now five of them sharing the leadership chair of the Super Division. Indeed, NB Staouel, Rouiba CB, USM Blida, CSC Djisr Kasentina and NA Hussein Dey managed to follow up with a second success in a row, brought from outside, by respectively beating US Sétif (53–67), ASS Oum El Bouaghi (77–87), CR Beni Saf (60–62), PS El Eulma (62–84) and CRB Dar Beida (70–79). On October 18, 2023, The Ministry of Youth and Sports (MJS) announced that it was suspending all sport events “until further notice” in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The suspension was announced the day after a strike on a hospital in Gaza, which has been relentlessly shelling the Gaza Strip since the start of the war sparked on October 7 by the bloody attack. of the Palestinian Islamist movement on its soil.

The Super Division summit between the defending champion USM Alger and its runner-up WO Boufarik, after it was postponed several times finally took place in the Hacène Harcha Arena where USM Alger lost (78–63) after being ahead in the first two quarters, thanks to this performance WO Boufarik totaling 14 points, takes first place in the Super Division standings. The team has a perfect record of seven victories in as many matches. USM Alger with 12 points is positioned third sharing this place with USM Blida. The 23rd day of the Super Division was mainly marked by the fall of the two leaders WO Boufarik and NB Staoueli beaten respectively against NA Hussein Dey and CSC Djasr Kasentina. Traveling in the capital, the Boufarikois lost to NA Husseïn Dey by a small point difference (74–73), in a highly contested match which required the use of overtime to decide between both teams. For its part NB Staouéli fell back into its ways after being dominated by CSC Gué de Constantine (66–54) in the algérois derby.
