The Club Olympique des Transports (
Arabic: النادي الأولمبي للنقل), 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 7,000.
The club gold era was the 70s when coach
Hmid Dhib had built a tea. In all COT spends 27 seasons in the first division (professional level). 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.
History
It was in July 1945 that the ancestor of the COT, En-Najah Sports was created through a group. The club merged with El Hilal Sports du Den-Den (EHSDD) to form the "Club Olympique Tunisien" (Tunisian Olympic Club) in 1960, and then with the "Association sportive des traminots" (Sports Association of traminots) on 29 June 1966, forming Club Olympique des Transports.
