The 2013-2014 season of the Tunisian Ligue 1 championship, initially scheduled to start one month earlier, has faced delays due to club boycotts. The championship is now expected to commence on September 15, as announced by Brahim Abid. The postponement is a result of protests by clubs against the closed session imposed by the State.
The clubs have been demanding compensation before agreeing to resume play. The resolution of this issue is expected before the new start date of September 15. The advisor to the head of government has reportedly assured that the problem will be addressed this week. The delay in the start of the championship is inconvenient for both the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) and the clubs involved, who incur expenses without playing matches.
