Algeria. One of the best organized championship in Africa – steady league system, the top 3 levels at least: 16-team top division, 16-team Second Division, Third Division divided regionally in 6 groups, most of 16-teams as well and the lowest relegated down to 4th level. Good organization brought good results and respect – Algeria hosted the African championship finals this year and won. JS Kabylie won the Champions Cup. And they were at the top domestically. So, in brief: WA Tlemcen won Second Division with 42 points, followed by CS Constantine with 41 – both teams were promoted to the top league.
USM Alger was last with 23 points in First Division. RC Relizane ended 15th with 26 points. Those were the relegated to Second Division this season. Up the table:
MC Alger – perhaps better known internationally as Mouloudia Alger – was 3rd with 34 points.
MC Oran – or Mouloudia Oran, the African Champions Cup finalists in 1989, was 2nd with 36 points.
The champion was the same as in the 1988-89 championship: JS Kabylie (Tizi-Ozou). Only they changed their name between the two seasons, so the 1988-89 was JE Tizi-Ouzou, but the club was the same and 1989-90 was fantastic season for them – not only Algerian champions, but African champions as well. And a good round record they made as well: it was their 10th title.
