Review

Background

MB Rouissat has achieved a historic milestone by securing promotion to Ligue 1 Mobilis for the first time in its history. Founded in 1964, the club from Ouargla sealed its ascent on the final day of the Ligue 2 season with a decisive victory over US Chaouia. With 71 points, MBR edged past USM El Harrach to become the first club from the city to reach the top tier of Algerian football an unprecedented achievement for the Rouissatis.[3][4]

Newly promoted Ligue 1 Mobilis side MB Rouissat have appointed Abdelkader Amrani as head coach. The former MC Oran boss, who was close to returning to ASO Chlef, joined after failing to reach an agreement with his former club. Amrani will be assisted by Bouazza (assistant coach), Hadrouk (fitness coach) and El Ghima (goalkeeping coach). Rouissat’s pre-season training camp in Italy was cancelled due to visa issues, with Tunisia chosen as the alternative. The club aims to be ready for the 2025–26 season and meet the high expectations of their fans.[1]
