KUWAIT CITY, May 19, (KUNA): Al-Jahra celebrated winning the 2024–2025 Zain First Division Football League title after securing a 1-1 draw with Al-Sulaibikhat in the 20th and final round on Sunday. The result was enough for Jahra to finish top of the table with 26 points and earn promotion to the Kuwaiti Premier League (Zain League) next season.

Al-Shabab Club also secured promotion, finishing in second place with 22 points, following a strong campaign in the five-team competition. Meanwhile, Al-Sahel defeated Burgan 1-0 in their final fixture but finished in fifth and last place with 15 points.

The final standings placed Al-Jahra first (26 points), Al-Shabab second (22), Al-Sulaibikhat third (21), Burgan fourth (19), and Al-Sahel fifth (15).

As Jahra and Shabab prepare to rejoin Kuwait's top-tier football, Khaitan and Yarmouk have been relegated to the First Division after placing ninth and tenth, respectively, in this season’s Zain Premier League.
