To returne again from 1970 to 1985 before sinking to the fourth and even fifth division. Successive presidents - Ali Goulli, Hédi Lahouar, Moncef Laatiri, Hammadi Halloul and Raouf Ghadhab - in turn contribute to the progress and the club climbed to CLP-1 in 2006 for the first time in its history. But the club was relegated from the CLP-1 to the CLP-2 in 2007, this first experience is not successful and after that demotion, it is rapidly CLP-1 again at the end of the 2007-08 season thanks to the efforts of its President Hédi Lahouar who returned after two terms in the Tunisian Football Federation.
