The 2017–18 Tunisian Super Cup was the 14th edition of the Tunisian Super Cup, a football match contested by the winners of the 2017–18 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 and 2017–18 Tunisian Cup competitions. The match was played on April 1, 2019 at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, between 2017–18 Ligue Professionnelle 1 winners, Espérance de Tunis, and CA Bizertin, semifinalist of the 2017–18 Tunisian Cup, as an alternative to Club Africain, the winners of said tournament.[1] Esperance won the title for the fourth time in its history in the first edition since 18 years.[2]
Pre-match
The match was supposed to be played between the 2017–18 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 champion, Espérance de Tunis, and the 2017–18 Tunisian Cup champion, Club Africain, but the match was postponed several times due to the critical financial and administrative situation for Club Africain, and finally withdrew from the Super Cup. The second choice was made for the runner-up of the 2017–18 Tunisian Cup, Étoile du Sahel. The invitation was rejected due to the overcrowding of the calendar. Finally, a solution was reached with the CA Bizertin, one of the semifinalist of the 2017–18 Tunisian Cup, to occupy that place and compete in the 2017-18 Tunisian Super Cup.
