When the CAB Faces Problems, It Often Turns to Saïd Lassoued
La Presse — Passionate about sports, particularly football, this lawyer by profession attended the Stir de Zarzouna school in the 1970s, a club where he rose through all categories as a midfielder. There, he rubbed shoulders with big names in regional football, including former international goalkeeper Ghazi Liman before his move to CAB, Mohammed Trabelsi, the late Hamadi Béjaoui, Khaled Mabrouk, Habib Saïdi, the late Ali Khamlia, Mohammed Ayari, and many others who competed with the Cabistes at the time. He successfully combined sports and studies, then politics, to later become the mayor of Bizerte. With time, and as in football, he made a breakthrough in politics, becoming an influential man in the region. A man of the field, he built a solid shell around himself. His love for the city and for the CAB is boundless.
The Personality Who Cuts the Gordian Knot
In 1988, the Bizertine team offered the first continental title to Tunisia under the presidency of the young Saïd Lassoued. Since then, he has been solicited for a service, advice, and more, remaining the person who cuts the Gordian knot and saves the Cabiste situation, as in relation to the consequences of troubles caused by certain misguided young people after matches. Thus, his interventions with the authorities, in the media, and in his pleadings in court to obtain the release of irresponsible minor supporters have made him popular among the "yellow and black" public. Every time there is a Cabiste crisis, he responds as an excellent mediator!
No later than a week ago, he wrote a statement addressed to all, in which he condemned the isolated act of a spectator who caused a head injury to the assistant referee during the match against CA and called, at the same time, for calm and reason to reduce the pressure. When it comes to defending the interests of the CAB on a legal level, he does not hesitate to throw himself wholeheartedly into the "battle". As a good orator and a "composed" leader, Saïd Lassoued is considered the wise man of Bizerte. Certainly, there have been many others like him in the past, but the palm undoubtedly goes to the former president of the Club Athlétique Bizertin, Saïd Lassoued.
