Issam Jemâa – RC Lens (2009-2010 Season)

Here is a collector's item steeped in history for all Sang et Or fans.

This Match Worn jersey was used by Tunisian international striker Issam Jemâa during the home clash against Olympique Lyonnais on October 3, 2009, the year of Racing's big return to the top flight.

Match Context: The Clash against the Lyon Giant at Bollaert

For this first leg of the 8th round of Ligue 1, the Bollaert stadium was packed and had an incandescent atmosphere for the reception of an OL team built for Europe (future Champions League semi-finalist).

Despite a huge outpouring of energy from the Lensois, Lyon's efficiency was painful. OL won 0-2 thanks to a quick goal from Sidney Govou (7th minute) and a late goal from Kim Källström (78th minute).

Starting at the forefront of the attack by Jean-Guy Wallemme, Issam Jemâa engaged in a constant physical battle for 70 minutes, harassing the Cris - Boumsong defense to try to ignite the Lensois Kop. This jersey experienced all the intensity of this elite battle from the inside.

Issam Jemâa: The Power and Generosity of the Sang et Or

The top scorer in the history of the Tunisian national team, Issam Jemâa left his mark on RC Lens through his generosity, athletic power, and sense of sacrifice.

During the 2009-2010 season, he established himself as one of the main architects of Lens' survival, also finishing as the club's top scorer in Ligue 1 with 7 goals. This jersey with traditional stripes carries the sweat of tough duels and the undying fervor of the Artois public facing the league's big teams.

This jersey is a highly symbolic piece for any collector of RC Lens or the iconic strikers of the Carthage Eagles.
