2024–25 JS Kabylie season

The 2024–25 season, is JS Kabylie's 56th consecutive season in the top flight of Algerian football. In addition to the domestic league, JS Kabylie 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.[2][3] However, the Ligue de Football Professionnel decided to postpone the start of the Ligue 1 by a week, on September 21.[4]

Review

Background

edit

On June 30, 2024, JS Kabylie signed Abdelhak Benchikha as a new coach. ATM Mobilis also congratulated and thanked Benchikha for choosing JS Kabylie and for preferring it to other national and international offers, according to a press release on the official X account of the Algerian Telecom Company.[5] On July 10, 2024, the President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune, supervised the inauguration of the Stadium bearing the name of Hocine Aït Ahmed, in the presence of some former players of JS Kabylie.[6][7] Following urgent requests from certain clubs, the Algerian Football Federation has decided to increase the number of foreign players in the Ligue 1.[8] After having formally passed through the technical college chaired by Rabah Saâdane, the FAF ratified the increase in the number of foreigners per club from 3 to 5. However, that there is a provision intended to serve as a safeguard for the license of a foreign player or coach to be validated, the club must pay the federation a deposit equivalent to 12 months salary.[8] This is to protect against any financial dispute.[8]

On September 17, during a friendly match against US Biskra at the New Aït Ahmed stadium, goalkeeper Gaya Merbah suffered a serious injury, a fracture in his leg bone (fracture du tibia), which required his immediate transfer to Tizi Ouzou Hospital. Due to the seriousness of his injury, the match was stopped and Merbah will be out until the end of the season.[9][10] The Algerian Football Federation regulations stipulate that clubs can contract with a goalkeeper if one of their goalkeepers suffers a serious injury, such as Merbah.[11]

First-team transfers (summer transfer window)

edit

On June 20, 2024, JS Kabylie is the first elite club to open the recruiting ball. Signed a contract for five seasons with Gaya Merbah, former goalkeeper of IR Tanger. Merbah was presented in the head office of ATM Mobilis operator and in the presence of its CEO, Chaouki Boukhazani. Also present were El Hadi Ould Ali chairman of the board of directors, Hakim Medane general director and Karim Doudane general manager.[12] JS Kabylie then terminated Chamseddine Rahmani's contract which was terminated amicably.[13] On July 4, 2024, the second defensive reinforcements arrived with the signing of international defender Mohamed Amine Madani a three-year contract coming from CS Constantine.[14]
