The Tunisian Ligue 1, the country’s premier football competition, is set to resume its 16th round with fixtures scheduled over four days—January 18, 19, 26, and 29.
The National Professional Football League (LNFP) has officially released the detailed program for the matches, which takes into account several teams’ commitments to continental tournaments.
Two of Tunisia’s most prominent clubs, Espérance Sportive de Tunis and Club Sportif Sfaxien, will see their matches postponed to Wednesday, January 29.
The delay accommodates their participation in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup, respectively.
Adjusted fixture dates
Club Africain’s match against US Ben Guerdane has also been rescheduled, now set to take place on Sunday, January 26.

The staggered scheduling reflects the league’s effort to ensure teams can fulfill both domestic and continental obligations without compromising the integrity of the competition.
