The Tunisian Football Federation calls on affiliated clubs to settle their disputes within sports bodies and comply with regulations in force. Its 8 November statement follows several weeks of public statements and communiqués between clubs, according to Business News.

The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) on Sunday 8 November 2026 called on its affiliated clubs to show responsibility and restraint amid the disagreements, statements and communiqués multiplying in Tunisian football. It called for disputes to be settled within the competent sports bodies and in accordance with the regulations in force.

The FTF warned that the multiplication of exchanges through the media could, in its view, worsen relations between clubs and weaken the image of Tunisian football. It also called on players, supporters and journalists to favour dialogue and avoid behaviour likely to undermine the credibility of the sport.

The federation said it remained equally distant from all clubs and would continue to defend the application of regulations and equal opportunities. It also said it remained open to dialogue and consultation with all stakeholders in Tunisian football.
