Group H - Tunisia:
Hatem Trabelsi
Place of Birth: Tunisia
Date of Birth: January 25th, 1977
Position: Defender
Clubs: Sportif Sfaxien, AFC Ajax
Trabelsi’s football life started as a midfield player at Tunisia’s Club Sportif Sfaxien, with whom he spent the first four years of his professional career. It was later in this spell that it was decided that Trabelsi should drop back into defense, and before long the player had a host of European clubs squabbling over his signature.
Dutch giants Ajax eventually won out in July 2001 and Trabelsi made his debut just weeks later in inauspicious circumstances as Ajax crashed to a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Celtic in the UEFA Champions League. The Amsterdam side bounced back, to win a domestic league and Cup double, with Trabelsi as an increasingly influential figure. Certainly, he was missed the following season, as he had a knee injury ruling him out for the bulk of the campaign as
Ajax stumbled through an ultimately unsuccessful title.
For Tunisia, Trabelsi has been a near-permanent fixture in the national side since making his debut against Georgia on 2 May 1998 and, at the age of 21 he was included in the squad for his national team.
The Germany World Cup 2006, will offer this 29-year-old’s finalist player the perfect opportunity to cement his reputation as one of Africa’s foremost defenders.
