Stadia

The biggest stadium is Stade du 5 Juillet 1962 with a capacity of 64,000 in which to play only the derby match between CR Belouizdad, MC Alger, NA Hussein Dey, USM Alger and USM El Harrach and the smallest stadium is Stade Mustapha Sefouhi with a capacity of 5,000, despite the lack of matching standards allowed the Algerian League to receive because of the lack of readiness of the great stadium in Batna Stade 1er Novembre 1954 due to the changing of the field floor and the repair of the honorary and changing rooms also this season it was expected to enter three new stadiums Stade Abdelkader Khalef 50,000, Abdelkader Fréha Stadium 40,143 and Abdelhamid Kermali Stadium 40,000 but not yet ready.

Notes
    • On 20 August 2016 Indeed, the match RC Relizane - NA Hussein Dey has officially been deprogrammed. Neither the visiting team nor the officials could not reach the chamber of Stade Tahar Zoughari Relizane. "Cheer" premises have prevented access to teams and officials and protesting the non-qualification of new recruits to the West country club by the Football League.[6]
