The Qatar Football Association (QFA) and Tunisian Football Federation (TFF) have agreed that the  Tunisian Super Cup clash will be played at Al Duhail Stadium.
The venue announced earlier was Al Gharafa Stadium.

After the spectacular success of the Total CAF Super Cup final on Friday, there is a surging demand for tickets for the Tunisian Super Cup final, organisers said yesterday.

The Cup final will see Esperance Sportive de Tunis  face Club Athletique Bizertin on Monday.

The one-off clash will follow after the Total CAF Super Cup  2019 that was won by Morocco’s Raja Casablanca who beat Esperance at Al Gharafa Stadium.

The sale of tickets for the 2019 Tunisian Super Cup is brisk as fans use Q-tickets platform to reserve their seats, organisers said.

The tickets are also available at Qatar Sports Club, Al Gharafa Sports Club and Villaggio Mall, organisers have announced.

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) has urged fans to buy their tickets as early as possible to avoid the disappointment later on.

The LOC comprises of officials from the Qatar Football Association, the Qatar Stars League (QSL) and Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC), urges fans to purchase tickets in a timely manner.

Qatar’s decision to host the 2019 Tunisian Super Cup is the result of the strong relationship between the two countries and also of the fact that Qatar is the world’s focal point on the football scene as the organiser of the FIFA 2022 World Cup.

The Tunisian Super Cup takes place as an annual match between the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 champions and the winners of the Tunisian Cup.

Since its return in 1994, the one-off clash has been organised only three times in 1994 and 1995 And 2001.

The last title was won by Esperance in the 2001 at the expense of Club Sportif de Hammam-Lif. Esperance won 3-1.
