[edit] History
The club was founded in 1928 as Club Tunisien, playing in a green and red strip. The team was promoted to the Tunisian First Division in 1947. In 1950, the first supporters group was founded by Béchir Fendri, and in 1962 the club was renamed "Club Sportif Sfaxien" and team colours were changed to the current black and white strip.
CSS celebrated their half-centenary in 1978 by winning the Tunisian League title, largely thanks to the impressive performances of their Tunisian internationals, notably Hamadi Agrebi, Mohamed Ali Akid and Mokhtar Dhouib.
In November 1998, CSS captured the CAF Cup for the first time, beating Senegal's ASC Jeanne d'Arc in the final.
In more recent times, CSS reached the final of the CAF Champions League 2006 but were narrowly beaten in dramatic fashion, losing 2-1 on aggregate to Al Ahly of Egypt.
CSS won the 2007 CAF Confederation Cup. A 4-2 first leg victory in Sudan against Al Merreikh preceded a 1-0 second leg win, with CSS lifting the trophy in front of their own fans at the Stade Taïeb Mhiri.
