Stade Tunisien (French pronunciation: [stad tynizjɛ̃]; Arabic: الملعب التونسي), abbreviated as ST, is a football club based in Le Bardo, a western suburb of Tunis (formerly the residence of the Beylical patronage). It is considered one of the top teams in the Tunis region, alongside Espérance Sportive de Tunis and Club Africain.

History

Founded on July 7, 1948, the club is the successor of the football section of the now-defunct Association of Young Muslims of Bardo, which was established in 1923. The club has historical ties to the Beylical patronage, particularly from Lamine Bey, which is reflected in its nickname "club beylical."

Stade Tunisien competes in the Tunisian football league. The club has won a total of 18 titles: 15 at the national level (four championships, seven cups, one supercup, two League Cups, and two Hédi Chaker Cups), and two at the regional level (two Arab Cup Winners' Cups).

After a continuous 61-year presence in the top tier of Tunisian football, the club was relegated to Ligue II at the end of the 2015–16 season. However, it quickly returned to Ligue I, making history as the first Tunisian team to have won both Ligue I and Ligue II championships.

A rivalry exists with the two other major clubs in Tunis, Espérance Sportive de Tunis and Club Africain, with whom Stade Tunisien contests the "Petit Derby" of Tunis.

important

The club faced relegation to the second division twice, first due to withdrawing from the professional league and later because of unfair refereeing. However, this doesn’t diminish the prestige of the venerable Stade Tunisien. Despite these setbacks, it remains a cornerstone of Tunisian football, known as the school of football in Tunisia, and continues to be one of the top clubs, competing for both local and international titles and trophies.
