After several weeks of waiting, the successor of Wadii Jary at the head of the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF), should be known on May 11 with the holding of an elective general meeting.
The FTF decided to hold its elective general assembly on May 11. This was to take place at first, on March 9, but it was canceled due to the rejection of the three candidate lists.
Faced with this blockage, the FTF referred to the International Football Federation (FIFA), which then decided to extend the mandate of the federal office in practice until May 20.
The FTF convened an elective general meeting for the period 2024-2028 while the mandate of the current federal office, arrives at the end of knowing that its president Wadii Jary has been imprisoned since October 25, 2023 and that Wassef Jalil, vice-president of the FTF, took over.
Three candidates (Maher Ben Aissa, Jalel Tekaya and Wissem Letaif), had expressed their wish to chair the FTF, but the three lists were rejected.
