### New owner and first continental title

[edit]

Abdelhak Benchikha leads USM Alger to win the first continental title by winning the 2022–23 CAF Confederation Cup.

On March 3, 2020, after the end of the era of the previous owner Ali Haddad, it was announced that Groupe SERPORT had bought the majority of the club’s shares.[38][39] Despite the difficult start and the many changes in management and coaches, in the 2022–23 season, With the elimination from the Algerian Cup and the big difference with the Ligue 1 leaders, winning the 2022–23 CAF Confederation Cup became a goal for the team, as stated by chairman of the Board of Directors Sid Ahmed Arab. Before the start of the group stage, Boualem Charef was sacked and replaced with Abdelhak Benchikha who had great experience in Africa.[40][41] In the quarter-finals in the first leg match against AS FAR, USMA achieved victory with two goals scored by defenders Saâdi Radouani and Zineddine Belaïd.[42] In the return match and after a wonderful reception from the Moroccan team, the beginning of the match was not good as it conceded a goal in the first ten minutes, two minutes after that Radouani equalized the score, in the second half and in the first quarter AS FAR scored the second goal, but substitute Khaled Bousseliou equalized the score in the 78th minute which facilitated USM Alger's mission to qualify for the semi-finals.[43][44]

In the semi-finals the club moved to Bouaké to play against ASEC Mimosas where it returned by a draw, a week later in the second leg USMA achieved qualification to the final for the first time after winning with two goals, the opener came through Bousseliou in the 28th minute, in the last ten minutes goalkeeper Oussama Benbot after a long pass, Ismail Belkacemi scored the second goal.[45] Benchikha said after the match that it is the time to win the CAF Confederation Cup title for the first time in the history of USM Alger.[46] USM Alger made a big step towards the title by winning 2–1 in Dar es Salaam in the first leg of the Confederation Cup final against Young Africans. It is on a soggy ground that USMA fought a real fight from start to finish, Mahious opened the score in the 32nd minute after a foul from Benzaza, despite everything Young Africans tied in the 81st minute with a beautiful goal scored by Mayele. However less than three minutes later they lead an offensive by Tumisang Orebonye who finds Bousseliou in the area who without panicking will shift Islam Merili who scores the second goal.[47] On June 3, 2023, USM Alger became the first Algerian winners of the CAF Confederation Cup despite losing 1–0 at home in the second leg of the final. As rain that began early in the second half became increasingly heavy the match became increasingly scrappy, USMA pocketed a record two million dollars for winning.[48] On 16 July 2023, Benchikha announced that he would remain in the club despite the offers he had received from clubs outside the country.[49] In the first match of the season in the CAF Super Cup, USM Alger won the title after winning against Al Ahly to win its second continental title.[50]

### RS Berkane matches crisis

[edit]

Main article: USM Alger v RS Berkane football matches

During the campaign to defend the CAF Confederation Cup title, USM Alger faced Moroccan club RS Berkane in the semi-final. Three days before the match, RS Berkane club traveled to Algeria. Due to ambiguity regarding the match shirts which show the map of Morocco including Western Sahara. Algeria also broke off diplomatic relations with its Moroccan neighbor because of this issue.[51][52] Algerian customs asked to see these jerseys and did not allow the delegation to take them.[53][54] On the day of the match RS Berkane refused to play the match without his jersey. On April 24, 2024, it was announced that the organizing committee of the competition had sanctioned USM Alger by forfeiting it with a 3–0 defeat for the first leg.[55][56] Despite the lingering crisis due to the first leg, USM Alger traveled to Morocco on April 26.[57] During the technical meeting before the match RS Berkane indicated that she planned to wear the set of jerseys flocked with the map of Morocco with Western Sahara.[58] USM Alger refused to play the match and the officials waited a quarter of an hour before realizing that one of the two teams had not left the locker room.[59][60] On May 2, Confederation of African Football designated RS Berkane as finalist of the CAF Confederation Cup and declared to transmit the file to the disciplinary committee for possible other sanctions against the Algerian Football Federation.[61][62]

On May 2, 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that it had rejected the request for interim relief to suspend the decision of the CAF appeal jury which validated the use of the RS Berkane jersey, in the absence of a response from of the Confederation of African Football. However, the case remains open on the merits and the court is in the process of collecting the elements of each party.[63][64] On May 10, the Lausanne court once again rejected a request from USM Alger to suspend the Confederation Cup final, pending the conclusion of arbitration proceedings with CAF in the RS Berkane affair.[65][66] On November 13, 2024, the CAS heard the various parties in the so-called jerseys case, namely USM Alger and FAF on one side and RS Berkane, FRMF and CAF on the other. The Spanish judge investigating the case listened to the arguments of the various parties via the Zoom application, the hearing lasted three hours. In the end, the CAS judge left the case under advisement.[67][68]

On February 26, 2025 The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has admitted the appeal of the FAF against the CAF, the FRMF and RS Berkane concerning the validation of the RS Berkane jerseys on which appears a map of Morocco including Western Sahara.[69][70] The CAS Panel has concluded that RS Berkane jerseys for the 2023–24 CAF Confederation Cup, insofar as they depict a territorial map including an image of a political nature, were contrary to CAF regulations. CAF's decision to maintain the approval of the jerseys is thus annulled and the FAF's appeal is allowed.[71] This decision has no effect on the results of the 2023–24 CAF Confederation Cup. This document is an unofficial summary for the media. With the agreement of the Parties, the CAS award will be published in French on the website in due course.[71]
