A new wave of violence and riots has emerged in Tunisian stadiums, prompting the authorities to prepare and search for strategies to address this phenomenon.

The violence extended to all sports and caused significant damage to sports facilities.

The violence began in the Esperance and USM Tataouine match in the Tunisian football league, where clashes took place between police and Esperance fans who tried to enter the pitch.

Some fans tried to bypass security barriers and enter through gates not designated for them, leading to clashes with police forces, and the violence left six police officers seriously injured, according to media sources.

The match between Tazerga and Menzel Bourguiba at the Stade Africain on Sunday also witnessed serious violence that led to six injuries among Bourguiba’s players due to stones thrown by a number of fans of the opposing team.

Amateur competitions witness a lot of hooliganism, and what happened in the Tarka and Menzel Bourguiba match reflects the actions of some clubs and fans at the end of the season, when each point becomes double value, in the struggle to avoid relegation or promotion.
