History
The football championship of Tunisia,was first held in 1907 by the "Ligue Tunisienne de football" (Tunisian League of football - LTF) then the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF). The first edition opposed the three teams of "Racing club of Tunis", "Football club of Bizerte" and "Sporting of Ferryville" and the two school teams of the "Carnot College of Tunis" and the "Sadiki College". It becomes official with the creation of the LTF in 1921 and its affiliation to the French federation of football. Until 1939, the title of champion is attributed as a result of dams between the regional champions. But from 1946–1947, a championship of "excellence" (national division) is created and competes nationally. In 1944-1945, 1945–1946 and 1952–1953, the championship is not disputed and is replaced by a criterium (a kind of tournament pools where participation is voluntary). The current big clubs are created during this period: "Esperance Sportive de Tunis" (1919), "Club African" (1920), "Etoile Sportive du Sahel" (1925), "Club Athletic Bizertin" and "Club Sportif Sfaxien" (1928).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
