Harsh Sanction for CAB Coach Chokri Bejaoui
The disciplinary committee of the Lnft has imposed a severe penalty on CAB coach Chokri Bejaoui, banning him from the bench for two days and fining him 5,000 dinars. This sanction comes as a surprise, as a suspension and a small fine were expected. According to a close source within the club, this fine is particularly unwelcome during a period of financial hardship.
The CAB is not only struggling on the field, but also facing difficulties at home, with no president and no financial resources. The team's results have been inconsistent, and the sanctions are piling up, making it seem like a curse.
Countdown to October 15
The CAB is eagerly awaiting its return to its home stadium, the Stade 15-Octobre, on October 15, where it will face OB in the 12th round of the championship. This derby will take place after the postponed match against EST on Thursday, October 30, at Radès. Coach Chokri Bejaoui will be watching the match from the stands due to his suspension. The team will rely on his two assistants, Fakhreddine Jaziri and Zied Laâroussi.
Tribute to Ridha Baktache
We have learned with great sadness of the passing of former CAB player and SNB president Ridha Baktache, who was part of the same generation as international players Driss Haddad, Larbi Zouaoui, and Ferid Bouchoucha. Baktache was a respected educator and sportsman, loved by the people of Bizerte for his dedication to sports in the region. A tribute was recently paid to him at the CAB headquarters, attended by educators, former players, and former presidents.
Fonseca Returns to the Field
CAB midfielder Benvenuto Fonseca, who was expelled against ASS and suspended for one match against ST, will return to the field tomorrow in the postponed match against EST at Radès. According to a source close to the club, Fonseca is expected to make a significant contribution to the team's midfield.
