Squad14 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kiros

58 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. CR Belouizdad lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 28 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

A chastening introduction for Islam Abbaci — 5.39

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.39 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Siriman Konaté at CR Belouizdad

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Siriman Konaté is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Nobody could get near Jean Charles Ahoua

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Ahmed Hassan gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for CR Belouizdad against Paradou

0‑1 to Paradou, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Houcine Benayada falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market14 Sep 2026

Arab Contractors are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. CR Belouizdad will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kiros

65 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. CR Belouizdad lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market7 Sep 2026

Islam Abbaci asks to leave CR Belouizdad

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Graduation day at CR Belouizdad

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match5 Sep 2026

CR Belouizdad get the job done against USM Khenchela

A 2‑1 win over USM Khenchela, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

One of our own: Adel Benaceur joins the CR Belouizdad first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Adel Benaceur is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Sofiane Touba joins the CR Belouizdad first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sofiane Touba is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market7 Sep 2026

Mehdi Touba steps up from the CR Belouizdad academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mehdi Touba has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of those days for Jean Charles Ahoua

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.27, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at CR Belouizdad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Houcine Benayada is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market31 Aug 2026

Eyes on Lofti Boussouar again

The phone has started ringing about Lofti Boussouar again, and this time the name on the line is Al Gaish. CR Belouizdad are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mohamed Touat is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market31 Aug 2026

Enyimba expected to open talks for Abdennour Iheb Belhocini

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. CR Belouizdad will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

The Ahmed Hassan question follows CR Belouizdad around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Ahmed Hassan’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
