The Tunisian Cup reaches a critical juncture this Sunday as three enticing quarter-final ties are set to determine the final places in the last four.

Following Saturday’s opener, attention now turns to Monastir, Radès, and Sousse, where decisive battles await.

US Monastirienne v Club Africain: A rivalry renewed

The quarter-final schedule kicks off at 14:30 local time with US Monastirienne hosting Club Africain in what promises to be a closely fought encounter.

These two sides are no strangers to each other, having already met twice this season in Ligue 1.

A goalless draw in Radès was followed by a narrow 1-0 win for Monastir on home soil.

Central referee Nidhal Ben Ltaief will officiate the clash, with Amir Ayadi operating the VAR.

Only US Monastirienne season ticket holders will be allowed in the stadium, creating a partisan atmosphere.

Monastir, already assured of a place in next season’s CAF Champions League, remain eager to extend their cup run.

Club Africain, meanwhile, face a crucial match that could salvage a turbulent season and potentially secure qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup, thereby staving off looming administrative concerns.

Espérance de Tunis v Espérance de Zarzis: Underdogs eye an upset

At the same time in Radès, Espérance de Tunis will host Espérance de Zarzis at the Hamadi Agrebi Stadium.

While the capital club enters the match as the clear favourite, the team from Zarzis has shown its mettle throughout the season, finishing fifth in the Ligue 1 standings and demonstrating its ability to compete against top-tier opposition.

Their head-to-head league meetings this season offer a hint of unpredictability.

Zarzis stunned the Blood and Gold with a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture, though Espérance exacted revenge with a 4-2 win in the return leg.

Referee Walid Mansri will take charge, assisted by Mehrez Melki in the VAR booth.

Like the earlier match, attendance will be limited to Espérance de Tunis subscribers.

Seeking to complete a domestic double, Espérance de Tunis will need to remain vigilant against a side capable of springing surprises.

Etoile du Sahel v Stade Tunisien: Tradition meets ambition

The final match of the day begins at 17:00 in Sousse, where Etoile Sportive du Sahel welcomes Stade Tunisien.

With both clubs boasting rich histories in the Tunisian Cup, the fixture carries added weight.

Their league encounters this season were split, with Stade Tunisien winning the first leg 1-0, before ESS responded with a commanding 3-1 win in the return fixture.

With form swinging slightly in favour of Etoile, the stage is set for a fiercely contested match.

Haythem Trabelsi will oversee proceedings, joined by VAR assistant Oussema Ben Ishak.

Sunday’s trio of matches will decide the remaining semi-finalists in what has become one of the most competitive editions of the Tunisian Cup in recent years.

Sunday’s fixtures:

  • US Monastirienne vs Club Africain – 14:30 (Referee: Nidhal Ben Ltaief; VAR: Amir Ayadi)
  • Espérance de Tunis vs Espérance de Zarzis – 14:30 (Referee: Walid Mansri; VAR: Mehrez Melki)
  • Etoile du Sahel vs Stade Tunisien – 17:00 (Referee: Haythem Trabelsi; VAR: Oussema Ben Ishak)
