In the wake of the tensions and divergences of positions observed recently on the sports scene, as well as statements and communiqués published by certain clubs, the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) calls on all clubs under its authority to show responsibility and restraint, to contribute to calming the sporting climate and to avoid any behavior likely to heighten tensions or fuel disagreements.
While reaffirming its full respect for the clubs’ right to express their positions and defend their interests, the Federation emphasizes that the resolution of divergences and the questions raised must be carried out within the framework of the competent sports institutions and bodies, in accordance with current laws and regulations. It thus calls to avoid any media escalation as well as exchanges of communiqués and statements that do not serve the interests of Tunisian football.
The Federation also urges all components of the sporting family — clubs, executives, players, supporters and journalists — to show solidarity and fraternity, to favor dialogue and mutual understanding, and to refrain from any behavior likely to undermine the image and credibility of our national sport.
The current period requires all of us to fully realize our historical and sporting responsibilities and to place the national interest above any other consideration. The interest of Tunisian football remains a collective responsibility, whose realization can be ensured only by joining together everyone’s efforts and by unity of the ranks.
The Tunisian Football Federation reaffirms that it will continue to treat all clubs on an equal footing, ensuring the application of the law and guaranteeing equal opportunities. It also remains open to dialogue and consultation with all components of the sporting family, in a spirit of mutual respect and responsibility.
Let us place the interest of Tunisian football above all else and unite our efforts to build a better future for our national sport.
