Violence erupted once again in Tunisian stadiums as a match on the 11th day of Ligue 1 was suspended due to a brawl between supporters, resulting in several injuries. Supporters from Tozeur invaded the pitch and threw stones at the police during halftime, leading to the suspension of the match. La Marsa, ranked 4th, was leading 1-0 against Tozeur at the time of the incident. Fortunately, the clashes did not result in serious injuries.
Eyewitnesses reported that the police used tear gas to disperse the agitated supporters. Tunisia has been grappling with incidents of violence in its stadiums, and this recent episode underscores the challenges faced in maintaining security during football matches. Following the revolution of January 2011, matches were played behind closed doors to prevent violence. Public attendance was only recently reintroduced, but instances like this highlight the ongoing concerns regarding fan behavior and safety.
