Refereeing assignments have been confirmed for the rescheduled Ligue 1 encounter between EGS Gafsa and Etoile du Sahel, set to be played on Wednesday at the Mohamed Rouached Stadium in Gafsa.
The fixture, originally part of Day 13 of the Tunisian top flight, will kick off at 15:00 local time.
The National Directorate of Arbitration has named Mehrez Melki as the central referee for the high-stakes replay.
He will be assisted on the touchlines by Youssef Jami and Omar Riahi. Video assistance will be handled by Oussema Ben Ishak and Aymen Ismail, who will oversee VAR duties.
The decision to replay the match was issued by the national appeal committee of the Tunisian Football Federation.
The ruling followed a dispute concerning the eligibility of EGS Gafsa’s player Alkhaly Bangoura during the initial fixture.
The controversy prompted an official complaint and subsequent investigation, ultimately leading to the annulment of the previous result and the scheduling of a new match.
Wednesday’s game is expected to carry significant implications for both sides, as the league enters its crucial phase.
For EGS Gafsa, the encounter provides an opportunity to reaffirm their position in the standings under the scrutiny of renewed regulatory oversight.
Meanwhile, Etoile du Sahel, one of Tunisia’s most decorated clubs, will look to assert their dominance and secure valuable points in their pursuit of domestic success.
The Tunisian Football Federation has emphasized the importance of transparency and fair play in its decision to mandate a replay.
The appointment of a full officiating team, including VAR officials, underlines the effort to ensure a smooth and controversy-free match this time around.
With both clubs aware of what is at stake, all eyes will be on the Mohamed Rouached Stadium as the two teams clash again—this time with clarity on the rules and the players allowed to participate.
The encounter not only tests the competitive edge of the squads but also reflects the Federation’s ongoing commitment to upholding integrity within Tunisian football.
