The CR Belouizdad Herald
Squad7 Dec 2026
79 days out for Moustapha Zeghba after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. CR Belouizdad will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match7 Dec 2026
CR Belouizdad up to position 2
29 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Words exchanged at CR Belouizdad
Yanis Hamache and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match5 Dec 2026
Naoufel Khacef’s goal not enough for CR Belouizdad
Naoufel Khacef scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Olympique Akbou, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.
Player ratings7 Dec 2026
One of those days for Naoufel Khacef
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
Boardroom7 Dec 2026
Nobody left the CR Belouizdad dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
The dugout7 Dec 2026
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Abdelhak Feghouli to a room that had heard them before.

Farid Chaâl makes the team of the month
Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Dokou Dodo 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.
