The Tunisian Ministry of Interior has announced that traffic and parking will be prohibited on National Road 1 (RN1) between the Choucha Radès and Borj Louzir roundabouts in Ezzahra on Thursday, October 29, from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM. This measure is being taken in preparation for the football match between Club Africain and Club Athlétique Bizertin, which will take place at 2:30 PM at the Hamadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès.

The match, which is part of the seventh day of the Ligue 1 football championship, is expected to draw a large crowd. To ensure public safety and facilitate traffic flow, the ministry has put in place several measures. The restrictions on RN1 do not apply to individuals who are heading to the stadium and have valid tickets or subscriptions.

The ministry has specified that the stadium gates will open at 11:30 AM and has recommended that supporters arrive early. To access the stadium, spectators will need to present their tickets or subscriptions at the various control points located at the stadium entrances. The parking areas have been allocated based on the type of ticket or subscription held by spectators.

The northern parking lot will be reserved for holders of subscriptions and tickets for the stands, as well as subscribers to the lawn. The southern parking lot will accommodate holders of tickets and subscriptions for the enclosure and tribune, as well as holders of lawn tickets. Access to the loges and journalists' parking areas will be exclusively through the main entrance.

The ministry has urged supporters to use the designated parking areas and to respect the highway code. It has also warned against clandestine passenger transport, vehicle overloading, and dangerous driving. In addition, the ministry has recommended avoiding the axis connecting Radès to Ezzahra via the Farhat-Hached roundabout after the public has left the stadium.

To minimize disruptions to traffic, motorists heading to the New Medina and Yasminet areas are advised to take the Saint-Jacques interchange, while those going to the southern suburbs should use the southern fast lane via the Oued Miliane bridge. The ministry has called on spectators to cooperate with the authorities to ensure a safe and smooth event.

The authorities are taking these measures to ensure a successful and incident-free event. The match between Club Africain and CA Bizertin is expected to be a closely contested encounter, and the ministry is working to provide a secure and enjoyable experience for all spectators.
