In the 2018–19 season, the Algerian football club JS Saoura competed in Ligue 1 (the top league in Algeria) for the seventh season in a row. The club won 13 out of 30 league games (losing 9 and drawing the remaining 8) and finished 4th out of 16 teams, resulting in qualification for the 2019–20 Arab Club Champions Cup. The club also took part in the Algerian Cup, but were knocked out by IB Lakhdaria in their first match, and the CAF Champions League, where they reached the group stage. The midfielder Adel Bouchiba had the most appearances for the season (at 39), and top goalscorer was Mohamed El Amine Hammia (who scored 9 goals for the club: 5 in Ligue 1 and 4 in the Champions League). The club's head coach at the start of the season was Nabil Neghiz; he was replaced by Karim Zaoui in January 2019.
