Aspire Academy students had an exceptionally successful performance at the ITTF Global Junior Circuit Event, 2012 Tunisian Junior & Cadet Open during the 9th  -12th of  October.

In the qualifications, Jassim Al-Sanadi and Abdulrahman Al-Naggar won decisively with 3:0 against the teams of Algeria, Egypt B and Morocco. In the semifinals, Aspire Academy students also won against the French team, which was deemed to be a favorite, in a very good match. The finals with Egypt only, however, showed a better performance for the Egyptian team.
