Tunisia: Ridha Jeddi appointed national technical director of the Football Federation

Tunisia's Ministry of Youth and Sports has announced a series of appointments and reappointments to national technical director roles across various sports federations. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the structure and technical governance within the country's sports landscape.

The decisions follow recommendations from a consultative commission that met on June 23, 2026, to review technical aspects of sports. The commission proposed candidates for national technical leadership positions.

Specifically, Ridha Jeddi has been appointed as the national technical director for the Tunisian Football Federation. Nidhal Abdelkrim will assume the same role at the Tunisian Basketball Federation. Bassam Fourati will continue as the national technical director for the Tunisian Volleyball Federation. Additionally, Ibrahim Agrebi has been appointed as the national technical director for the Tunisian Handball Federation.

These appointments are guided by Decree No. 552 of 1977, which established sports technical directorates. These directors are tasked with representing the ministry on technical matters before sports federations and are appointed by ministerial decree from specialized experts. The ministry stated that these measures are intended to structure and reinforce technical governance within Tunisian sports federations.
