Tunisian Cup

Eight teams from the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 (the teams that finished last season between seventh and twelfth place, in addition to the two teams promoted from the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 2) enter the competition in the 32 round, followed by the other six teams in the next round. The Tunisian Cup champion qualifies directly for the CAF Confederation Cup. However, if the cup champion is the champion of the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 that season or a participant in the CAF Champions League, the club that played the final is the one who replaces it in the external competition. A new Tunisian Cup Trophy is adopted whenever a team triumphs the same Trophy three times.

From independence until 1987, Habib Bourguiba presented the cup to the winning team after each final. Since coming to power after the 1987 coup d'état, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali played the same role until his overthrow during the Tunisian revolution in 2011.^[4]

From 2011 to 2014, the President of the Republic did not did not hand over the cup. After coming to power, Beji Caid Essebsi (winner of the 2014 Tunisian presidential election) presented the cup to the 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17 and 2017–18 editions.^[5]

After the death of Caïd Essebsi, interim president Mohamed Ennaceur presented the trophy at the end of the 2018–19 final.^[6] Since Kais Saied assumed the presidency in October 2019, he has not attended the final or presented the cup. From 2020 to 2023, all those who held the position of Minister of Youth and Sports presented the cup with the president of the Tunisian Football Federation, Wadie Jary.^[7]

During the 2023–24 final, at the request of the President of the Republic, Kais Saied,^[8] the Prime Minister, Ahmed Hachani presented the cup to the winning team.^[9]

From independence in 1956 until the Tunisian revolution in 2011, the tournament was called the "Tunisian President Cup". Since 2011, the competition has been called the "Tunisian Cup". In August 2019, the 2018–19 edition bears the name of former president Beji Caid Essebsi, and the following four editions bear the name of national figures on the occasion of their death anniversary (Habib Bourguiba in 2019–20, Salah Ben Youssef in 2020–21, Farhat Hached in 2021–22 and Hedi Chaker in 2022–23).^[10]

On 7 February 2024, the Tunisian Football Federation named the Tunisian Cup The His Excellency the President of the Republic Cup,^[11] before the start of the 2023–24 edition, returning the name of the competition to what it was before the Tunisian revolution. This decision sparked public controversy.^[12] On 9 February, President Kais Saied, during his meeting with Minister of Youth and Sports Kamel Deguiche, decided to change the name of the tournament to the Tunisian Cup and rejected the new name, indicating that the era of personalization of power had passed forever. The report was published on the official page of the Presidency of the Republic on Facebook.^[13] After that, the TFF retracted the new name and kept the name of the Tunisian Cup.

The lists of finals are shown in the following tables:^[14][15]

Replays: Replays were used to determine the winner of the knockout tournament when the first leg ended in a draw. If the second match remained tied, the team that played the most corners was considered the winning team. This rule was applied twice in the history of the Tunisian Cup finals in 1970 and 1976, and the matches were replayed after a draw 7 times.

Penalty shoot-out: The penalty shoot-out law was applied in the 16-final round of the Tunisian Cup in the 1976–77 edition in the match that brought together the EO La Goulette et du Kram and Stade Tunisien, which prevailed 4–3. For the final matches, 9 matches were decided by penalty shoot-outs. The first was the 1984 final between the champion, AS Marsa, and the runner-up, CS Sfaxien.
