Relegation Playoff [Jun 22]
MOC 2-0 USMB
USMB relegated
NB: at the end of the season no relegation took place as the first level
was reorganized in 2 groups of 14 teams each for 1998/99; all 16 teams
remained at the top level and the top-4 of all three second division
groups earned promotion. The background behind this decision is that
for the 1999/2000 season the Algerian FA will start a new, professional
division, and they wanted a wide range of clubs to have the chance to
become members of it.
