On January 21, 2021, JS Saoura president Mohamed Zerouati was suspended for a year due to his behavior towards the match officials against MC Alger. Zerouati was accused of using pressure with threats against the match official (COVID manager), Zerouati said he was so upset with the COVID manager that a verbal argument broke out between him and the official match doctor. In an interview, Zerouati said that the clubs who said they put pressure on the referees were the same who said they were hospitable when they won, but when they lost, they said the opposite. He said, “Every day of Ligue 1 we take long trips that can reach 3000 km. As for the rest of the clubs, they move only once to Béchar in a season”.
