Club Africain begin training camp in Ain Draham during international break

Club Africain have launched a training camp in Ain Draham as they take advantage of the international break in the Tunisian football calendar.

The camp, which begins today, has been arranged while the Tunisian national team contest two matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

It provides new head coach Faouzi Benzarti with the opportunity to strengthen his squad’s preparations ahead of the resumption of domestic competition.

Benzarti, who was appointed shortly before the start of the new Ligue 1 season, is using the gathering to work closely with his players and fine-tune tactical details.

The veteran coach has emphasised the importance of this period, with the camp allowing him to assess the squad and implement his methods away from the pressures of official fixtures.

Club Africain’s focus now turns to their upcoming Ligue 1 clash against Club Sportif Sfaxien, scheduled to take place on 12 or 13 September at the Hamadi Agrebi Stadium in Rades.

The encounter will be part of the fifth round of the domestic season and is viewed as an early test of Benzarti’s impact on the team.

The camp in Ain Draham offers a timely opportunity for intensive preparation.

With several first-team players not involved in international duty, the sessions will allow for targeted work on fitness, cohesion, and strategy.

Benzarti is also expected to use the time to evaluate younger players within the squad, providing them with valuable exposure to first-team training.

Club Africain’s supporters will be hoping the extra preparation translates into results on the pitch as the season progresses.

The team is aiming to build momentum and establish themselves as strong contenders in both the league and cup competitions.

While the national team focuses on its World Cup qualifying campaign, Club Africain’s work behind the scenes under Benzarti signals a determination to use every available opportunity to sharpen their approach.

The match against CS Sfaxien will be a key indicator of how far the team has progressed under their new coach’s guidance.

By staging their camp in Ain Draham, known for its favourable training conditions, Club Africain have placed themselves in an environment conducive to focus and improvement.

For Benzarti and his players, the coming days may prove decisive in laying the groundwork for a season in which the club hopes to make a significant impact.
