USM Alger
On 17 December 2024, Ahmed Khaldi became the first winter signing of USM Alger for two and a half years after joining from Al-Arabi. The Algerian forward had terminated his contract with the Kuwaiti club on 5 December before choosing to join the Red and Black despite interest from several Algerian clubs.[8][9][10] Khaldi had to wait until 27 March 2025 to score his first goals for USM Alger, producing a brilliant brace against CR Témouchent in the Algerian Cup quarter-finals.[11] Despite making numerous appearances throughout the season, he failed to find the net in the league. However, Khaldi ended the campaign in perfect fashion by scoring a decisive goal against CR Belouizdad in the Algerian Cup final, leading USM Alger to the title and securing the first trophy of his professional career.[12]
In his second season, Ahmed Khaldi established himself as one of the team's key players, featuring as a starter in most matches. Although the club's ambition of winning the Ligue 1 title was not achieved, Khaldi and his teammates continued their dominance in the Algerian Cup, securing the trophy for the second consecutive year against the same opponent. Just like in the previous final, Khaldi played a decisive role by scoring a goal and providing an assist for Kamagaté.[13] On the CAF Confederation Cup stage, Khaldi delivered outstanding performances and guided his club to the final. Khaldi scored a crucial goal in the semi-final second leg against Olympic Safi, securing his team's place in the final.[14] In the first leg against Zamalek, he scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot.[15] In the second leg, his team clinched the title after a dramatic penalty shootout victory, giving Ahmed Khaldi the first continental trophy of his career.[16]
