SemifinalistsNB Staouéli defeated MC Alger 2–0.
NA Hussein Dey defeated WO Boufarik 1–1.

2025 Algerian Basketball Super Division Finals is a final between the two top Algerian basketball teams. While the semi-finals of the "AS" tournament of the Super Division are scheduled for May 27 and 28, the final has already been set for June 13 and 14, 2025, in Algiers. The Coupole of the Mohamed Boudiaf Olympic Complex, which hosted the playoffs and is hosting the semi-finals, is also expected to host the final. This is a logical choice in terms of infrastructure and accessibility. The venue meets FIBA standards, has a good seating capacity, and is located in the capital, which facilitates media coverage and logistics for clubs, officials, and supporters.[1][2]

The final stage of the 2024–25 Super Division took place at the Mohamed Boudiaf Olympic Complex in Algiers. It featured the top four teams from the playoffs held in late May 2025: WO Boufarik (defending champions), NB Staouéli, MC Alger, and NA Hussein Dey. In the semi-finals, NB Staouéli qualified for the final by defeating MC Alger in two consecutive games (84–73, 77–71). Meanwhile, NA Hussein Dey caused an upset by eliminating WO Boufarik in a tightly contested series (62–69, 98–90).[3]

NB Staouéli has been crowned Algerian Super Division Champion for the 2024–25 season. In the final, faced NA Hussein Dey and secured victory in both legs winning 69–67 in the first leg and 70–59 in the second leg. With this double triumph, NB Staouéli clinched the third national championship title in its history, following earlier successes in 2007 and in 2022. Guided by former international player Mohamed Yahia, the club succeeds WO Boufarik, who won the title in the 2023–24 season. NA Hussein Dey, narrowly missed out on what would have been the first national title in the club’s history.[4][5]
