The Tunisian Cup (Arabic: كأس تونس), and formerly known as Tunisian President Cup (1956–2011), is the premier knockout football competition in Tunisian football, organized annually by the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF), which is considered the second most important national title after the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1. The reigning champions are Stade Tunisien,[1] who won their seventh title at the 2023–24 season.[2]
The first edition took place during the 1922–23 season under the French protectorate organized by the Tunisian Football League (an offshoot of the French Football Federation). The first final after independence, which took place at the end of the 1955–56 season, was won by Stade Tunisien. The cup is therefore organized every year, with the exception of the 1977–78 season due to the participation of the Tunisia national team’s in the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, and the 2001–02 edition which is not not completed due to the national team's participation in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The final match has been held generally since 2001 at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès. A new Tunisian Cup Trophy is adopted whenever a team triumphs the same Trophy three times, the current cup has been taken since 2020.[3]
Espérance Sportive de Tunis is the most successful team with a record 15 titles. As for Étoile Sportive du Sahel, it has occupied second place fifteen times, the last of which was during the 2018–19 season. Club Africain is the team that has played in the most finals (27 times), as well as the team that retained the title for four consecutive seasons (1966–67, 1967–68, 1968–69 and 1969–70) . Coach Mokhtar Tlili has won the tournament a record three times with Espérance de Tunis (2) and CA Bizertin (1), while player Sadok Sassi has won the title a record 8 times with Club Africain.
From the start of the 2020s, the management of the Tunisian Football Federation decided to play the final match outside the capital Tunis and move it to regions, such as Monastir in the final of the 2019–20 season and Djerba in the final of the 2020–21 season.
