Tunisia

🌍 World Cup Story

Tunisia have qualified for six World Cups (1978, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2018, 2022) — the most of any African nation after Egypt's seven. In 1978 they became the first African team to win a World Cup match (3-1 vs Mexico). They have never advanced beyond the group stage but have always been competitive, often running giants close. In 2022 they memorably beat France (resting players ahead of the knockout rounds) 1-0 in their final group game — an emotional victory but one that came too late. The Carthage Eagles are typically well-organised and defensively solid, with individual quality in attacking areas through players like Youssef Msakni, whose career has spanned several World Cup campaigns.
