The football community in Tunisia is in uproar following the tragic death of a 19-year-old supporter, with many fans blaming the police for his death
Violence in Tunisian stadiums is not an unusual sight. Virtually on a weekly basis, fights break out in the stands – be it between rival supporters, members of different Ultra groups or fans clashing with police.
The harsh sanctions implemented by the Tunisian Football League – ranging from hefty fines to ordering games to be played behind closed doors – and the strict laws of the Tunisian Football Federation only seem to be making the problem worse.
