Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑0 against ES Ben Aknoun, and it could have been more.
Player ratings7 Sep 2026
Both of them Cheick Diabaté's — 8.24
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.24, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Nadir Yakoubi hands in a written request

Hatem Grine is a better footballer than he was

Rachid Bellahcene steps up from the JS Kabylie academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rachid Bellahcene has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

JS Kabylie promote Islam Djabou from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Islam Djabou has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
