Océano Club de Kerkennah (Arabic: نادي محيط قرقنة‎), often referred to as OCK or mainly El-Mouhit is a Tunisian football team from the archipelago of Kerkennah, Tunisia. The club was founded in 1963. They play in blue and white colors.

L`OCK have also small volleyball, kung-fu, judo and swimming sections, and formerly handball, basketball and pétanque sections.

History

On October 1964 l`OCK plays for the first time in the third division. They were successful and 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 L`OCK were defeated by Club Olympique de Médenine.

At 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 1978/1979 season. L`OCK spent 13 seasons in the first division (professional level). Known for their ultra-defensive playing style, they clung on for five years but eventually were relegated. During the 1990s, considered by many to be the glory years of the club, L`OCK 'clung like an octopus' (as the other clubs of League I described).

On the season 1990 – 1991 l`OCK promoted in the First division.On 1991 – 1992 the club has the best budget of his history and the 6th best budget of all first division clubs after Espérance Sportive de Tunis ,Club Africain ,Étoile Sportive du Sahel , Club Sportif Sfaxien and Stade Tunisien with 645 000 00 Tunisian Dinar.

A year later, they came back with a new style that often led them to great success. After mixed fortunes, the club were relegated from League I for the last time in 1997 to the League II. After two seasons (1997–1998 and 1998–1999) in League II, they were relegated again. Since the season 1999–2000, L`OCK have played in League III, where they been fighting for survival for a number of years. The club has struggled with constant coach changes to achieve the consistency required for promotion back to League II.

At the season 2009–2010 L`OCK was very near to go back to Tunisian League II after an good first half of the season.But after an bad second half of the season they became onnl the 6th on the final table of tunisian League III.This season was the first season after their come back last season in which L`OCK plays complete at the Farhat Hached Stadium in Remla, Kerkennah.

Stadium Farhat Hached in Kerkennah

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

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

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

Sfax Derbies

All games of l`OCK 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 l`OCK and Club Sportif Sfaxien during the 1990s (the glory years of l`OCK).

Derbies Between Two Islands

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

Derby of Kerkennah

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