CLUB AFRICAIN - ESPERANCE

Club

THE TUNIS DERBY

Esperance used to be the club of the lower class people and Club Africain the team of the "intellectual" (the club was founded by students). The Club Africain headquarter is located in Bab Jedid, an old area of the city where the rich used to live. Nowadays it's a pretty poor area. Esperance's headquarter is located 1 km from that of club Africain, in Bab Souika, a very popular area. After the independance of Tunisia Club Africain slowly became more popular among the poor especially because Esperance was being managed by businessmen and politicians. Both clubs are very popular these days.
