MC Alger secured their ninth Algerian Ligue 1 title, their second consecutive championship, with a goalless draw against Nadjem Magra, who were already relegated, on the final day of the 2024-25 season at the 5 July Stadium in Algiers.

The single point earned lifted Khaled Ben Yahia’s team to 58 points, placing them two points ahead of fierce rivals JS Kabylie, who secured second place by winning their match elsewhere.

With this achievement, MC Alger stands as the third-most decorated club in the league’s history, trailing only Kabylie with 14 titles and Belouizdad with 10.

Knowing that a draw would secure their championship, the capital club controlled possession from the beginning but faced a stubborn defense from Nadjem Magra. Early chances for Guinean forward Mohamed Salio Bangura were turned away.

Nadjem Magra, having already been relegated with a 15th-place finish and just 31 points, rarely pushed forward but nearly stunned the home crowd when forward Amrane sent a half-volley past the post midway through the first half.

At halftime, Ben Yahia made substitutions, bringing on Mohamed Zograna, Mehdi Boucharit, and Sofiane Bayezid to improve scoring, but the team struggled to create significant chances. A close attempt came from Bangura in the 78th minute, but the goalkeeper, Imad Benchlef, saved it.

The match concluded with celebrations from over 45,000 fans honoring the club’s 1976 African Cup win. After being eliminated by Orlando Pirates in the previous CAF Champions League, MC Alger plans to strengthen its squad for the next season.

Meanwhile, Nadjem Magra faces relegation, marking the end of their top-flight stay, while Belouizdad qualifies for CAF inter-club competition for the sixth consecutive season.
