On June 11, 2022, twenty years after its last coronation, WO Boufarik won the Coupe fédérale by beating TRA Draria with a score of (74–60), winning on this occasion the eighth trophy of its history.[4] A week after the disillusionment suffered in the final of the Super-Division Championship, WO Boufarik's players did not miss the opportunity to return to success after two decades of scarcity, offering a long-awaited trophy to their audience who came in droves to Hacène Harcha Arena. WO Boufarik retained for the 2nd consecutive year, the Algerian Basketball Cup trophy by beating CSC Gué de Constantine (74-63), in the final of the 52nd edition of the event contested at Hacène Harcha Arena, This is the 9th coronation of the WOB.[5] On July 2, 2024, In a demonstration of strength and mastery, WO Boufarik wrote a new page in its history by winning its tenth Super Division title. This consecration, which comes after more than two decades of waiting, materialized during the second leg of the Super-Division final played in Staouéli. Faced with a combative TRA Draria, but ultimately overwhelmed, Sofiane Boulahya's men imposed their diktat, winning a resounding victory with a clear score of (60-41).[6] [7]
