Notes
- On 20 August 2016 Indeed, the match RC Relizane - NA Hussein Dey has officially been deprogrammed. Neither the visiting team nor the officials could not reach the chamber of Stade Tahar Zoughari Relizane. "Cheer" premises have prevented access to teams and officials and protesting the non-qualification of new recruits to the West country club by the Football League.[6]
