There are progresses, certainly, especially in defensive animation but we remain not very effective in the final third. The CAB cannot be content with defending most of the time! With the agreement of the Steering Committee, we hope to recruit two other players in the offensive department.
Despite four friendly matches, the team's performance against JSO in Bizerte was disappointing. Azaiez acknowledged that "there are still two weeks before the start of the competition, we hope to be ready on D-day." He also pointed out that absences due to U23 call-ups do not fully explain the team's shortcomings.
The club has also set the prices for membership cards for the 2026-2027 season: Pelouse and Virage at 80 dinars, Gradins at 200 dinars, and Tribunes d’honneur at 1,000 dinars. These cards are available at the club's headquarters and boutique.
