CO Transports


The Club Olympique des Transports, often referred to as COT or Ennakel is a Tunisian football club based in the city of Tunis. The club was founded in 1945, the team plays in blue and black colors. Their ground is currently the Ali Belhouane Stadium, which has a capacity of 3,000.
We can not discuss this club without recalling its group of the first half of the '70s that coach Hmid Dhib had patiently built around Mohieddine Habita – nicknamed the "Arabic Pele" by the Libyans, on the occasion of the Arab nation's Cup disputed in Tripoli in August 1973, where Habita scored six goals and was named the "Tunisian Pelé" by President Habib Bourguiba while receiving the victorious Tunisian team. Also Ali Kaabi, Farouk Ben Sliman and Houcine Ayari or the team shaped by Bernard Blaut, who won the Cup in Tunisia in 1988 and lost the championship in special conditions.
In all COT spends 27 seasons in the first division.
But, like all districts clubs, the club installed in Mellassine, a popular district of Tunis, was unable to resist the deman and has plummeted in three years to end up in the fourth division in 2007–2008 before rising again to CLP-3, and reaching the quarter-finals of the President Cup this year.
It's hard for COT to keep their fans because the crisis and especially because the club is located in the Capital Tunis, where the most popular Tunisian team Club Africain and the most successful Tunisian team Espérance Tunis are also located.

History

It was in July 1945 that the ancestor of the COT, En-Najah Sports was created through a group formed around Mustapha Achour and include the cyclist Jilani Ben Othman and sports director Belhassen Chaar. The club merged with El Hilal Sports du Den-Den to form the "Club Olympique Tunisien" in 1960, and then with the "Association sportive des traminots" on 29 June 1966, forming Club Olympique des Transports.
