Sousse Star Sports Club has exited the African Confederation Cup from the second preliminary round after losing to Kenyan side Nairobi United in a penalty shootout (6-7) during the match held on Sunday evening at the Olympic Stadium in Sousse.

The Tunisian team had lost the first leg in Nairobi with a score of (2-0), before managing to equalize in the return leg with the same score, thanks to goals from Ryan Anan in the 50th minute and Ghufran Al-Nawali in the 90+7th minute, leading both teams to a penalty shootout where luck smiled on the Kenyan representative.

With this result, Sousse Star will miss the group stage of the continental competition, marking a disappointing season for Tunisian football, as the Tunisian Stadium also exited on Saturday against Moroccan Olympic Safi, despite winning the return leg (2-1) after losing the first leg (0-2).

This marks a double farewell, and Tunisian representation will officially be absent from the group stage of the African Confederation Cup this season.
