JS Kairouanaise has strengthened its lead at the top of Ligue 2 Group B, following the latest update from the National Professional Football League concerning the match between OC Kerkennah and ES Rogba Tataouine.

After the league’s decision, the standings remain tight in the race for promotion, but Kairouanaise now sits firmly in first place with 41 points from 20 matches. AS Kasserine follows closely with 38 points, also having played 20 games.

OC Kerkennah, affected directly by the league’s ruling, holds third place with 36 points.

The adjustment stems from administrative deliberations over the outcome of the match between Kerkennah and Rogba Tataouine.

Though details of the ruling were not made public, the final classification reflects its impact, cementing Kairouanaise’s dominance and marginally affecting the positioning of mid-table sides.

PS Sakiet Eddaier and Sfax Railways Sports round out the top five, with 34 and 33 points respectively.

Both remain in contention for promotion with six matches remaining in the regular season.

In the mid-table ranks, BS Bouhajla and AS Agareb are tied on 28 points, occupying sixth and seventh spots based on goal difference.

Stade Gabesien follows in eighth with 26 points, while AS Jelma sits in ninth with 25.

Olympique Sidi Bouzid trails just behind with 24 points, keeping hopes alive for a strong finish.

Further down the table, CS Chebba and CS Redaief remain in the lower half with 21 and 20 points respectively, while ES Jerba and ES Rogba Tataouine occupy the relegation zone.

Jerba, with 16 points, and Rogba Tataouine, now with 13 points after the latest ruling, will face mounting pressure to avoid the drop in the coming weeks.

As the final third of the season begins, every point will prove crucial.

The updated standings have added intensity to both the promotion chase and the relegation battle, with the league expected to deliver more twists before the curtain falls on the campaign.
