February 18, 2018: At Parc A, the Club Africain training center, Jamila and Feriel Hamrouni have been going to the stadium every year with their father, Lassaad, to cheer on their favorite club, CA, despite the ban on under-18s entering the stadium—though it’s easier for girls. In Tunis, it’s the big day—the soccer derby, the match between the two best teams currently in the league and Tunis’s two flagship clubs, Club Africain (CA) versus Espérance de Tunis (EST), at the Grand Stadium of Radès in the southern suburbs of Tunis. CA has the upper hand in this rematch, as it controls ticket sales. Given the numerous clashes between fans and ultra groups—both among themselves and with the police—in the stadiums, only 23,000 tickets are being sold (out of a capacity of 60,000), including 1,200 for EST—though only about 50 of those will be allocated to the south stand. The match will end with a surprise 2–1 victory for CA.
