CR Belouizdad has made key decisions during its recent Extraordinary General Meeting, marking significant leadership changes within the club. Mehdi Rabehi, 51, has been re-elected as president of the Société Sportive par Actions (SSPA/CRB), continuing to lead the prestigious Algerian club.
The election of Rabehi, which passed with a simple majority, is seen as a vote of confidence in his leadership after his tenure.
His reappointment as president follows the departure of Mohamed Benelhadj, who previously held the role.
The club’s management expressed satisfaction with the decision, and Rabehi’s experience will be crucial as CR Belouizdad navigates its future ambitions.
In an unexpected move, the board also welcomed new members to its ranks, including prominent figures from the world of Algerian media and sports.
Maâmar Djebbour, the director of information at the national radio station Chaîne 3, has been appointed to the board.
His involvement is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the club’s operations, drawing on his extensive background in communication and media.
Additionally, Rachid Oukali, former president of the Wilaya Football League, was also appointed to the board.
Oukali’s experience in football administration is seen as an asset, and his appointment has generated some speculation about his future within the Algerian Football Federation (FAF).
Sources suggest that Oukali, who was previously sidelined from the League, may run for a position in the upcoming FAF elections, potentially representing CR Belouizdad.
The appointments of Djebbour and Oukali signify a strategic move by CR Belouizdad to strengthen its leadership team.
Both individuals bring a wealth of experience that is expected to enhance the club’s operations, as it continues its efforts to maintain success in Algerian football.
Their expertise, particularly in media and football governance, is seen as valuable in shaping the future direction of the club.
As CR Belouizdad embarks on this new chapter with a reformed board, the club’s supporters will be keen to see how these changes translate into tangible success on and off the field.
