CSS, a culture of victory passed down through generations
Former Berber Syphax and Roman Taparura, Sfax is honored today by the achievements of the CSS for nearly a century. The trophies that sparkle on the shelves of the Club Sportif Sfaxien since 1969 are the best proof.
In fact, the Club Sportif Sfaxien has shone in black and white in various competitions to win brilliant victories in football, volleyball, basketball and many other sports.
The Hedi Chaker football cup won in 1966 was the first triumph in the club's history. In 1969, the CSS also won its first national title of the Tunisian football championship. And that's not all! Blacks and Whites won twice the Tunisian football league in 1971 and 1995.
Always in football, the CSS has been 7 times champion of Tunisia, won 4 times the cup of Tunisia and once the cup of the Tunisian league in 2003. Since then, time has well revealed the perseverance of the team Bianconero and its desire to excel far beyond national borders.
Indeed, the CSS football team has won the CAF Cup (the African Football Confederation Cup) 3 times in its history. The first was in 1998 following two home and away games won against the Senegalese team ASC Jeanne d'Arc. In international football, the football team also managed to win the Arab Cup of Champions in Saudi Arabia in 2000.
The years 1977 and 1982 similarly have key dates in the club’s history where, the Volleyball Blacks and Whites respectively won their first Tunisia Cup and League double.
Having also won the national double in 1985, CSS volleyball players won the African championship title that same year, becoming the first Tunisians to win this African collective sport title.
The basketball players of the CSS have also honored the club with their successive victories throughout the last years where they were champions of Tunisia for 18 times. They have also won 7 times the cup of Tunisia and won twice the league of Arab champions.
This stature of the Club Sportif Sfaxien is certainly achieved thanks to the relentless efforts of tenacious leadership through decades, the commitment of a team of players and executives both physically, mentally and technically, but above all thanks to ardent supporters who has been always united behind their club.
