Riots and clashes between Esperance fans and security at the "Rades" stadium

Yesterday, Sunday, 3 Tunisian security forces were injured in clashes with a number of Esperance Club fans, and they were taken to hospital for treatment.

The confrontations between security forces and Esperance sports fans began at the "Rades" stadium between the two halves of the confrontation that brought Esperance and its guest Tataouine Club.

A number of Esperance sports fans raised slogans against Tunisian security, and accused them of being involved in the murder of Club Africain fan, Omar Al-Obeidi, two years ago.

Esperance sports fans threw stones at the security forces, and threw a number of iron pieces and bottles at them.

The security forces tried to get them out of the stadium, but they failed, and the confrontation lasted for more than an hour in the corridors and stands of the "Rades" stadium.

The match between Esperance and its guest, Ittihad Tataouine, in the penultimate round of the first group competitions in the Tunisian Premier League, ended with the hosts winning 3-0.

With this victory, Esperance managed to consolidate its lead in the first group with 24 points, to officially decide its qualification for the coronation group, while Ittihad Tataouine's balance froze at 18 points, in fourth place.

It should be noted that a number of security men in Tunisia are being prosecuted for being accused of involvement in the murder of Club Africain fan Omar Labidi, on March 31, 2019.
