The 2024–25 season, is USM Khenchela's 5th season and the club's 3rd consecutive season in the top flight of Algerian football. In addition to the domestic league, USM Khenchela are participating in the Algerian Cup. On June 27, 2024, The federal office approved the calendar for the 2024–25 Ligue 1 season with the aim of ending on May 31, 2025. The first round is scheduled for September 14, this delay is motivated both by an extended end of the 2023–24 season but also by the holding of early presidential elections which will take place on September 7, 2024.[5][6] However, the Ligue de Football Professionnel decided to postpone the start of the Ligue 1 by a week, on September 21.[7]
On August 1, 2024, Algérie Télécom and Union Sportive de la Médina Khenchela have signed a partnership agreement, making Algérie Télécom the official sponsor.[1] The signing ceremony took place at the headquarters of the General Directorate of Algérie Télécom in Algiers, in the presence of the Chairman and CEO of Algérie Télécom and the President of USM Khenchela Walid Boukrouma.[1] Knowing that Algérie Télécom has started procedures to buy the club, this partnership is part of a global approach aimed at supporting the club in the development and strengthening of its capacities for the 2024–25 season.[1]
