Tunis — The current football season will be marked with a white stone for the players of the "Etoile Sportive du Sahel" who after having won the League of Champions, the African Clubs Cup, and lately the African Clubs' Super Cup, also qualified to the second round of the World Clubs' Cup in Japan. If one adds to this that the team has an almost unsurpassable advance over the other teams in Tunisia's football championship, it is not difficult to see why the teams supporters are in a buoyant mood these days.
By defeating the Club Sportif Sfaxien 2- 1 in Rades on Saturday, the "Etoile Sportive du Sahel" has made history in being the first Tunisian club with so many international distinctions. With 8 international trophies, the team is third in Africa and the Arab World, after Egypt 's "Azzamalek" (9 trophies) and "Al Ahly" with 12 tropheys.
The team's latest performance was also the occasion for their star player, Chermiti to prove all the good said about the striker, who not only scored a goal against Sfax on Saturday but who was also instrumental in the scoring of the second head goal by Felhi. Many major European clubs are eying the possibility of signing with the Tunisian player who is said to be currently "examining the offers".
In the latest African Cup of Nations, 6 players from the "Etoile Sportive du Sahel", made up Tunisia 's national squad.
