description AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of our work, developed within the Tunisian Football Federation (TFF), was to study the clinical manifestations and the possible cardiac complications in professional footballers of the first league having contracted an infection by SARS-CoV2. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study. Professional Premier League football players who contracted COVID-19 from the onset of the pandemic through June 2021 were included. RESULTS: Among the 1388 players of the Tunisian first professional league, 102 players (7.35%) had COVID-19. Three were excluded for lack of clinical data. The average age of the subjects included was 26 ± 4 years with extremes ranging from 19 to 37 years. The most frequent clinical manifestations were anosmia, agueusia and muscle fatigue. The clinical examination was normal in all the subjects included except for the presence of fever among 37 (37.9%) subjects. All subjects’ electrocardiogram did not show any unusual abnormality. As for the imaging data, two players presented a pericardial effusion without signs of severity. In the other players, echocardiography was normal. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal any abnormality. CONCLUSION: The results of our study showed that there was no severe form of COVID-19 among professional soccer players. Larger scale studies integrating other leagues and different sport categories may provide more information on the clinical impact of this disease in high level athletes.
