The Tunisian capital derby between Espérance Sportive de Tunis and Club Africain, scheduled this Sunday as part of the final series of matches in the 29th round of the Tunisian professional Ligue 1 football championship, is drawing all the attention of sports fans.
This match comes in a context of intense rivalry between the two teams, one day before the season ends. The Bab Jedid club, leader of the standings, has a two-point lead over its direct and neighboring pursuer, the Bab Souika club.
The Sunday encounter thus promises to be a summit of very high level, even a championship final, given the importance of its result in the title race.
Today’s derby, the 144th in its history, will start at 16:00 on the pitch at Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès.
It will be officiated by an Austrian refereeing corps, led by Christian-Petru Ciochirca, with Harald Lechner as the VAR.
