The journey included notable locations such as Chevalley, El Biar, Colonel Bougara Street, Aoudin Square, Central Post Office, and Bab El Oued, with the celebrations adopting a particularly emotional character as the procession reached Soustara, the historic stronghold of USM Alger.

Throughout the procession, the scene was dominated by the club's red and black colors, with flags waving from balconies and scarves creating a massive display of support along the path. Following the festivities, USM Alger’s management extended its gratitude to the fans for their extensive participation, acknowledging their “civilized behavior,” discipline, organization, and cooperation.
