North African football preseason in Tunisia

Overview

On 4 July 2026, the Tunisian Football Federation announced that the 2026‑27 Ligue 1 season would commence in August, signalling the start of the domestic football calendar.

By the end of July, two Algerian clubs—USM Alger and CR Belouizdad—had set up 19‑day preseason training camps in Tunisia. USM Alger split its preparation between Aïn Draham and Tabarka, focusing on fitness and tactical drills before returning to Algiers in mid‑August. CR Belouizdad, under new coach Nabil Maâloul, based itself in Tabarka, played three friendlies and used the camp to integrate new signings and test tactics. The timeline shows Tunisia serving as a hub for regional clubs' preseason activities ahead of the upcoming league season.
