I.P.A. has scheduled the D.C. Derby and Coast Summit
The National Association of Professional Soccer (NAPF) announced on Tuesday 10 November 2026 the schedule of matches for the 8th round of the first professional league championship, where it decided to distribute the matches in three rounds and they all start at exactly 14:30.
The first leg starts on Friday 20 November 2026 with three matches, with the sports club in the nasal bath receiving the sporting star team with a full ball on the grassed nasal bath pitch.
The competition will continue on Saturday 21 November 2026 with the second leg of the top-flight Classico coastal summit between US Monastir and Étoile Sportive du Sahel at the Mustafa bin Jannat Stadium in Monastir, alongside Stade Tunisien and CA Bizertin, and CS Sfaxien against JS Omrane.
Espérance Sportive de Tunis had won the US Monastir with an unanswered goal in a match hosted by the Radès Stadium within the 7th round of fixtures, which also saw Étoile Sportive du Sahel and CS Sfaxien tie and the defending champion win over the Georgian Espérance.
The tour will conclude on Sunday 22 November 2026 with the Capital Derby match between Club Africain and Espérance Sportive de Tunis on the ground of the Al-Hamadi Stadium in Radès, in addition to the Georgian Espérance meeting with US Ben Guerdane, and this programming coincides with swirling doubts about the participation of the striker Espérance Hazem Al-Musturi in the derby after leaving the Tunisian team coach after an organ injury requiring additional displays.
