Wikipedia - Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1
The Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1, formerly known as the Tunisian National Championship between 1956 and 1994, is the highest-level football competition in Tunisia and is organised by the Tunisian Football Federation and the Ligue Nationale du Football Professionnel. The history of the competition is somewhat complex, with the first edition being held in 1907 during the French protectorate in Tunisia, organised by the Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques, it was played in a knockout format, with the first official match taking place on 9 June 1907. In 1921, the Tunisian Football Association League was founded. It is the Tunisian branch of the French Football Federation and a member of the North African Football League, which remained in operation until independence in 1956.
On 29 March 1957, the Tunisian Football Federation was founded, the official governing body for football championships in Tunisia. The Tunisian Championship became professional in the 1994–95 season following the establishment of the Ligue Nationale du Football Professionnel, and the competition took its current name. Espérance Sportive de Tunis is the club that has won the title the most with 34 titles, the last of which was in the 2024–25 season. Coach Faouzi Benzarti has won the tournament on a record ten occasions with Espérance de Tunis (5), Étoile du Sahel (4) and Club Africain (1), while Khalil Chemmam has won it twelve times, the most successful player, all with Espérance de Tunis.
The top two teams in the standings automatically qualify for the CAF Champions League, and the third-place team automatically qualifies for the CAF Confederation Cup, while the Tunisian Football Federation selects the clubs that qualify for the Arab Club Champions Cup. The Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 ranked first in the Arab world and Africa, and fifteenth globally, according to the 2019 IFFHS rankings.
History
USFSA Tunisian Football Championship
Football was born in Tunisia in 1904 with the unofficial creation of the Racing Club de Tunis, formalized in 1905 but which had to wait for the creation of other clubs in Tunis and Bizerte to participate in an official competition. Then the government is obliged to take an active interest in it. It distributed a few grants, though very small. A committee of the Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques, responsible for the management of all sports in Tunisia, was then created.
In 1910, a first series championship was organized with the participation of the Racing Club, Sporting Club de Tunis, Lycée Carnot de Tunis, the Colonial School of Agriculture, the Football Club of Tunis and the Red Star Club de l'Ariana, and a second series made up of the second teams of Racing Club de Tunis, Sporting and Gallia Club. The national title is awarded after a final between Racing and Stade maritime de Bizerte (champion of the Mediterranean squadrons) with a score of 2–0.
There are then very few Tunisian player. But, surprisingly, La Dépêche tunisienne published on 12 June 1910 the list of players of the Khereddine Club team, called to play against the Ariana Club and who are all Tunisians. It is the first fully Tunisian team but which we have not heard from later and which precedes the Comète Club team, created in 1914 but which did not survive the First World War. The Racing Club won the championship in 1910, 1911 and 1914, then in 1920 and 1921, while Sporting de Ferryville was crowned in 1912 and 1913.
LTFA Championship
The championship became official with the creation of the Tunisian Football Association League in 1921 was established, which is the Tunisian branch of the French Football Federation. Until 1939, the title of champion was awarded following play-offs between regional champions. From 1946 to 1947, a championship of "excellence" (national division) is created and is contested at the national level. In 1944–1945, 1945–1946 and 1952–1953, the championship was not contested and replaced by a criterium (a sort of group tournament where participation was not compulsory). These years saw the creation of the Stade Tunisien (1948).
