History

[edit]

In October 1964 OCK played for the first time in the third division. They placed first at the end of the season, going undefeated with 7 wins, one draw and no losses. But in the final playoff match for promotion to the Second Division OCK were defeated by Club Olympique de Médenine.

In 1969 a handball and a pétanque section were founded. These sections of the sports club are now defunct.

After five years in the Regional League III (region of Sfax), where they won the regional championship each time but failed the playoffs, the club eventually joined the second division in 1970 to spend nine years before joining the elite in the 1978–79 season. OCK spent 13 seasons in the first division (professional level). They clung on for five years but eventually were relegated.[citation needed]

In the 1990–91 season, OCK was promoted to the first division.

After mixed fortunes, the club were relegated from the first division for the last time in 1997 to the second division. After two seasons (1997–98 and 1998–99) in the second division, they were relegated again. Since the 1999–2000 season OCK have played in the third division, where they been fighting for survival for a number of years. With constant coach changes, the club has struggled to achieve the consistency required for promotion back to League division II.

In the 2009–10 season, OCK was very close to going back to Tunisian League division II halfway through the season. But after a bad second half of the season, they after a good first half of the season. But after a bad second half, they finished only 6th in the division III table. This season was the first season after their comeback last season in which OCK played entirely at the Farhat Hached Stadium in Remla, Kerkennah.

Stadiums in Sfax

[edit]

OCK has played in the City El Habib Stadium in recent years, and occasionally also plays in the 2 Mars Stadium in Sfax.


Stadium Farhat Hached in Kerkennah

[edit]

In 2001–02, OCK played its first season at Farhat Hached Stadium in Remla, Kerkennah. But after many security problems, the team had to stop playing there and went back to the stadiums of Sfax.

During the 2008–09 season, OCK moved back to the modernised Farhat Hached Stadium. The stadium was modernised with a new security force. The inauguration game of the new stadium on 15 March 2009 was won by OCK against Club Olympique de Médenine, 2–1.

Before OCK played in Farhat Hached Stadium, it was mainly used by the second football team of Kerkennah, Kerkennah Sports (KS).

Sfax derbies

[edit]

All OCK games against Club Sportif Sfaxien, Sfax Railways Sports, Stade Sportif Sfaxien and Club Ahly Sfaxien are considered derbies of the Sfax region. Because Kerkennah is an archipelago of Sfax, there is a big rivalry between these teams. Another major rivalry was between OCK and Club Sportif Sfaxien during the 1990s (the glory years of OCK).

Island derbies

[edit]

The games of OCK against Espoir Sportif de Jerba Midoun, AS Djerba (Houmt Souk) and Union Sportive d`Ajim are the only games between two islands in Tunisian football, because the other two smaller islands of Tunisia are not represented by teams in the national football competition.

Kerkennah Derby

[edit]

OCK also takes part in the "Kerkennah Derby" against Kerkennah Sports (KS), but mainly on friendly level. There is a good atmosphere between the two clubs and no rivalry.
