Esperance seal 34th Tunisian league title in dominant fashion
Published: Monday, 12 May 2025 Espérance Sportive de Tunis have been crowned champions of the 2024–25 Tunisian Ligue 1 after thrashing Olympique Béja 5-0 on Sunday, securing their 34th league title with a game to spare. The Blood and Gold took full advantage of Union Monastirienne's 1-1 draw against Étoile Métlaoui to mathematically clinch the trophy before the final matchday, completing a remarkable turnaround in a season that began in turmoil. Algerian star Youcef Belaïli was once again at the heart of Esperance's attacking force, scoring in the title-clinching victory and capping a productive campaign since rejoining the club last summer from MC Alger. The 32-year-old winger has registered 9 goals and 5 assists in 20 league matches, delivering consistently in key encounters and reigniting the form that once made him one of Africa's top playmakers. In defence, fellow Algerian international Mohamed Amine Tougaï was instrumental in anchoring the back line. His leadership and composure helped Esperance boast one of the league's tightest defences, conceding only 19 goals in 29 matches. 🇹🇳 2024-2025 CHAMPIONS ❤️💛💪👏👏 — Espérance de Tunis ❤️💛 الترجي التونسي (@ESTuniscom) May 11, 2025 His aerial dominance and tactical discipline were key in navigating the latter stages of the season where narrow wins became essential. The title win marks a significant achievement for coach Maher Kanzari, who took over amid instability. Esperance had languished in sixth place after six rounds, with just 9 points and two managerial changes already behind them. Under Kanzari's guidance, the team rediscovered its rhythm and consistency, embarking on an unbeaten run that eventually culminated in domestic supremacy. Earlier this season, the Tunisian giants also lifted the Tunisian Super Cup, defeating Stade Tunisien 2-0. With momentum on their side, they now set sights on a possible domestic treble as they prepare for the Tunisian Cup quarter-finals against ES Zarzis. For a club steeped in history and accustomed to success, this latest title reaffirms Espérance's status as the dominant force in Tunisian football and signals a potential return to continental ambitions.

The Egyptians face a mammoth task, having been drawn in Group A along with CONMEBOL COPA Libertadores champions SE Palmeiras (Brazil), FC Benfica (Portugal) as well as a Lionel Messi's inspired Inter Miami CF (USA).

Last season's TotalEnergies CAF Champions League runners-up are drawn in Group D alongside former European champions Chelsea FC, Brazil's CR Flamengo as well as Club Leon of Mexico.

The South Africans find themselves in a tough Group F alongside German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund, Fluminense FC of Brazil as well as Ulsan HD of Korea. Affectionately known as the Brazilians for their enterprising style of play, the stage is set for the former African champions to shine under their new coach, Miguel Cardoso. Key to Sundowns' success will be their South American signings, Lucas Ribeiro Costa (Brazil) Marcelo Allende (Chile) as well as Lucas Suarez (Argentina) who seemed to have gelled well at the club. Wydad AC – Morocco Proud hosts of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2025 and the FIFA World Cup 2030, Morocco will be fully behind their club Wydad Athletic Club when they make their first FIFA Club World Cup appearance.

Currently undergoing a rebuilding phase under former Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena, the FIFA Club World Cup presents an exciting challenge for the club, as they look to rebuild in what looks to be a new era for the former African champions.
