Pre-match
The match was supposed to be played between the 2017–18 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 champion Espérance de Tunis and the 2017–18 Tunisian Cup champion Club Africain, but the match was postponed several times due to the critical financial and administrative situation for Club Africain and finally withdrew from the Super Cup. The second choice was made for the runner-up of the 2017–18 Tunisian Cup, Étoile du Sahel. The invitation was rejected due to the overcrowding of the calendar. Finally, a solution was reached with the CA Bizertin, one of the sides of the 2017–18 Tunisian Cup semi-finals, which accepted the 2019 Tunisian Super Cup.
