Notes:

  1. ^ Renaissance failed to appear for the first leg in N'Djamena following disputes between the Ministry of Youth and Sports in the country and the Chadian Football Federation, which prevented the club from playing the match in their home country. As a result, Renaissance were disqualified from the competition by CAF, and ES Sétif won on walkover.[2]

Ligue Inter Régions

[edit]

Following the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic in Algeria, hence the hierarchy of football levels in Algeria has been modified. The 84 participants are divided into six poles composed of regional subgroups comprising 8 clubs each (except the south-west pole), in a round-trip championship then support matches to designate the six promoted.

At the end of this competition, the two winners of each subgroup of each pole will face each other in a play-off match (playoff round), in order to determine the six clubs that are promoted to D2A. The terms of relegation to Regional I will be as follows:

If among the 12 clubs that will be relegated from Ligue 2 we will include CR Beni Thour (club making up the south-east pole), the clubs ranked badly in 8th place in the 2 subgroups of the 2 south-east and south-west poles will be relegated to the lower division, as well as the seven badly ranked in 8th place in the rest of the 8 subgroups of the 4 northern poles.

If CR Beni Thour is not among the 12 clubs that will be relegated from Ligue 2, the clubs ranked poorly in 8th place in the 2 subgroups of the 2 south-east and south-west poles will be relegated to the lower division, as well as the clubs ranked poorly in 8th place in the rest of the 8 subgroups of the 4 northern poles.
