==History==
{{Main|History of the Tunisia national football team}}

=== 1928–56: French protectorate of Tunisia and beginning ===
An unofficial Tunisian team was formed in 1928, composed of the best Tunisian players from the [[Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1|Tunisian league]]. The team's first match was on 11 March 1928, against the [[France national football B team|French B team]], in which Tunisia lost 8–2.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=texte|first1=Parti socialiste SFIO (France) Auteur du|last2=texte|first2=Parti socialiste (France) Fédération (Paris) Auteur du|date=12 March 1928|title=Le Populaire: journal-revue hebdomadaire de propagande socialiste et internationaliste ["puis" socialiste-internationaliste]|url=https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k819267p|access-date=3 August 2020|website=Gallica|language=EN}}</ref> Their next friendlies, against the same team on 23 March 1930 and 26 March 1933, also resulted in losses. Tunisia's first win was a 1–0 victory over French Algeria in 1932.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia v Algeria, 13 November 1932|url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/tunisia-v-algeria-13-november-1932-224236/|date=2 May 2022|website=11 v 11|language=EN}}</ref> Most of the matches that Tunisia played in the 1930s and 1940s were against French teams at the [[Stade El Menzah#History|Stade Vélodrome]] in [[Tunis]].

=== 1956–78: Post independence, First international participation ===
Tunisia gained [[Tunisian independence|independence]] from France on 20 March 1956. The [[Tunisian Football Federation]] was founded on 29 March 1957 and the Tunisian team played a match with Austrian club [[FC Admira Wacker Mödling]] on 30 December of the same year, winning 4–1. Tunisia became affiliated with [[FIFA]] and the [[Confederation of African Football]] in 1960. The independent Tunisia played their first match against [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] on 1 June 1957, in the midst of the [[Algerian War]], in which Tunisia lost 2–1. They played their first official match at the [[1957 Arab Games]] where they won against [[Libya national football team|Libya]] 4–3 after scoring the first Tunisian goal in an official competition by [[:fr:Brahim Ben Miled|Farzit]]. They won against [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]] 4–2 and [[Lebanon national football team|Lebanon]] 4–2 before losing in the final against [[Syria national football team|Syria]] 3–1.

[[File:Tunisia football team 1978.jpg|thumb|Tunisia at the [[1978 FIFA World Cup qualification]] against Egypt.|left|230px]]

In 1960, Yugoslavian [[Milan Kristić]] became the first foreign manager. The national team qualified for the [[1960 Summer Olympics]], their first international event after beating [[Malta national football team|Malta]], [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] and [[Sudan national football team|Sudan]]. In the Olympic Games, the team suffered three defeats: against [[Poland national football team|Poland]] 6–1, [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] 2–1, and [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]] 3–1. [[Frane Matošić]] was appointed as the second Yugoslav coach of Tunisia after Kristić led Tunisia to qualify for the Olympics. In 1962, Tunisia entered the [[1962 African Cup of Nations qualification|African Cup of Nations qualifiers]] for the first time. The team qualified for the tournament after beating [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] and [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]], and went on to finish third after beating [[Uganda national football team|Uganda]] in the third-place match.

The team won the [[1963 Arab Cup]], after winning against Syria, [[Jordan national football team|Jordan]], Lebanon, and [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]]. Tunisia also qualified for the [[1963 Africa Cup of Nations]], and [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]] decided that Tunisia would host the [[1965 Africa Cup of Nations|1965 AFCON]], making the final after beating [[Ethiopia national football team|Ethiopia]] 4–0 in the opening match in [[Stade Chedly Zouiten]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia - Ethiopia 4:0|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/bqReoLuQ/#match-summary|access-date=3 August 2020|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> losing 3–2 to [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] in extra-time of the final.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ghana - Tunisia 3:2|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/biNeyyII/#match-summary|access-date=3 August 2020|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref>

Despite this early success, Tunisia did not enter the Cup of Nations again until 1976, and did not qualify until 1978. In 1973, the team entered the [[1973 Palestine Cup of Nations|Palestine Cup of Nations]] and won in dominant fashion, winning all six of their matches overcoming Syria, [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]], [[Palestine national football team|Palestine]], [[Yemen national football team|Yemen]] and Iraq, scoring 19 goals. In February 1975, after a short stint with Hungarian manager [[André Nagy]], [[Abdelmajid Chetali]] was hired. Tunisia qualified for their [[FIFA World Cup]] debut in [[1978 FIFA World Cup|1978]]. Tunisia defeated Mexico 3–1,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia - Mexico 3:1 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/SED70PSJ/#match-summary |access-date=23 April 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> but were defeated by [[Poland national football team|Poland]] 1–0,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Poland - Tunisia 1:0 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/nafve3js/#match-summary |access-date=23 April 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> and drew scoreless against defending champion [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]].

=== 1978–94: Decline and Missing six editions of the AFCON ===
After their inaugural World Cup, Tunisia experienced a decline. Between 1980 and 1992, the team managed to qualify for only two tournaments: the [[1982 African Cup of Nations]], and the [[Football at the 1988 Summer Olympics|1988 Summer Olympics]]. In both, they were knocked out in the first round. They, however, reached the last round of the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986 World Cup qualifiers]] by beating Nigeria before being defeated by [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]]. Former [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] manager [[Jean Vincent]] was hired but the team was unable to qualify for the [[1988 Africa Cup of Nations|1988 African Cup]] in Morocco after a defeat against Algeria. The team experienced poor results in the [[1987 All-Africa Games|African Games]] with defeats against Cameroon, [[Madagascar national football team|Madagascar]] and [[Kenya national football team|Kenya]]. [[Taoufik Ben Othman]], assistant manager in 1978,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Olympedia – Taoufik Ben Othman |url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/27449 |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.olympedia.org}}</ref> improved Tunisia's results, as they qualified for the Olympic Games after surpassing [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] and [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in the qualifiers. However, he was removed days before the start of the competition after poor results in the [[1988 Arab Cup]] and failure to win in their matches against [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Saudi Arabia v Tunisia, 11 July 1988 |url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/saudi-arabia-v-tunisia-11-july-1988-241224/ |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=11v11.com}}</ref> Lebanon,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia v Lebanon, 17 July 1988 |url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/tunisia-v-lebanon-17-july-1988-241244/ |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=11v11.com}}</ref> Egypt<ref>{{Cite web |title=Egypt v Tunisia, 13 July 1988 |url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/egypt-v-tunisia-13-july-1988-241230/ |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=11v11.com}}</ref> and Iraq,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Iraq v Tunisia, 09 July 1988 |url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/iraq-v-tunisia-09-july-1988-241219/ |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=11v11.com}}</ref> as well as friendlies against [[Malta national football team|Malta]], [[Finland national football team|Finland]] and East Germany.

Polish manager [[Antoni Piechniczek]] was temporarily appointed and supervised the team in the first round of 1990 World Cup qualifiers and also in the finals of the Olympic Games; in the latter, Tunisia tied [[China national football team|China]] 0–0<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia - China 0:0 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/WAIVmxtp/#match-summary |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> and [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]] 2–2<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sweden - Tunisia 2:2 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/UHEnfv3G/#match-summary |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> and lost to [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]] 4–1.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia - Germany 1:4 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/CQyagbIM/#match-summary |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> [[Mokhtar Tlili]] was appointed manager, however, he still missed the [[1990 Africa Cup of Nations|African Cup]] in 1990 after a defeat to Senegal. Piechniczek returned but still failed to qualify for the 1990 World Cup.{{Context inline|date=October 2024|reason=Who?}} Despite missing the [[1992 Africa Cup of Nations|1992 African Cup]], the federation renewed confidence in him because of the respectable performance he had given in the qualifiers; an early exit from the World Cup qualifiers for [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994]] contributed to his dismissal after a draw with Morocco.{{Context inline|date=October 2024|reason=This doesn't sufficiently explain information regarding the appointment of the coaches. This reads like "He was appointed and then removed when the team failed to qualify."
Tell me WHEN he was removed with precise dates. If it isn't that important, why does this need to be in the article at all?}} [[Youssef Zouaoui]] replaced him; Tunisia hosted the 1994 African Cup of Nations replacing original hosts [[Zaire]], but finished at the bottom of the group, after a 2–0 loss to Mali<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia - Mali 0:2 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/A9kJPykM/#match-summary |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> and a draw with Zaire.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia - D.R.

=== 1994–2002: Beginning of Resurgence, 1996 AFCON runners-up ===
[[Henryk Kasperczak]] became the new manager after Tunisia hosted the 1994 African Cup of Nations. Tunisia qualified for the [[1996 African Cup of Nations|1996 AFCON]] and finished second in their group, putting them through to the quarter-finals. Tunisia went on to beat [[Gabon national football team|Gabon]] in the quarter-finals and [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]] in the semi-finals,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gabon - Tunisia 1:2 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/GAhdbjCo/#match-summary |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Zambia - Tunisia 2:4 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/2Rf8eld4/#match-summary |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> to reach their first major final in 31 years, but lost to host country [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] 2–0.<ref>{{Cite web |title=South Africa - Tunisia 2:0 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/2BCPgSQG/#match-summary |access-date=17 August 2022 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref> Tunisia reached the quarter-finals of the [[1998 African Cup of Nations]] in the lead of the group with a win over [[DR Congo national football team|DR Congo]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia - D.R.

The following year, Scoglio departed to rejoin [[Genoa CFC]], sparking a period of severe instability. [[Eckhard Krautzun]] initially took over and guided the team to a second [[2002 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] appearance, but then resigned, citing interference from the [[Tunisian Football Federation|Tunisian FA]] with his coaching. [[Henri Michel]] replaced him, but was sacked when Tunisia crashed out of the [[2002 African Cup of Nations]] without scoring a single goal after scoreless draws with [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] and [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]] and a defeat from Egypt. Finally, [[Ammar Souayah]] took over in time for the 2002 World Cup; the team drew in friendlies with Norway and South Korea and were defeated by Denmark and Slovenia.

[[File:WM 2006 - Tunisia.jpg|thumb|Tunisian fans at the [[Olympiastadion (Berlin)|Olympiastadion]] in [[Berlin]] at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]].]]
In September 2002, the [[Tunisian Football Federation]] announced that it was finalizing a contract with former France manager [[Roger Lemerre]]. Tunisia hosted the [[2004 African Cup of Nations]], winning the group.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia - Guinea 1:1|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/UmNCefKB/#standings;table|access-date=1 December 2021|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> They defeated Senegal in the quarter-finals,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia - Senegal 1:0|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/fqrhJU2T/#match-summary|access-date=1 December 2021|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> and Nigeria in the semi-finals. Tunisia built a 1–0 lead after four minutes with [[Mehdi Nafti]]'s concentration pushed by [[Francileudo Santos]], before Morocco levelled. Tunisia restored their lead,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia - Morocco 2:1|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/67TRZkmA/#match-summary|access-date=1 December 2021|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> giving them their first [[Africa Cup of Nations|African Cup of Nations]] title. They also won the CAF's African National Team of the Year award. Lemerre became the first manager to win two different continental tournaments, having previously won [[UEFA Euro 2000|Euro 2000]] with France. As a result, Tunisia qualified for the [[2005 FIFA Confederations Cup]] in Germany, playing the hosts, [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] and [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]]. The only points they would win was a victory over Australia.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Argentina - Tunisia 2:1|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/As9oDQ2a/#match-summary|access-date=1 December 2021|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia - Germany 0:3|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/MPz2B4XB/#match-summary|access-date=1 December 2021|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Australia - Tunisia 0:2|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/ruPA9r2O/#match-summary|access-date=1 December 2021|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> Before their 2006 World Cup appearance, Lemerre took the Tunisians to a training camp in Switzerland, where they played international friendlies against Swiss clubs. Tunisia would only record one draw in Germany, against Saudi Arabia, losing against [[Spain national football team|Spain]] and [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ukraine - Tunisia 1:0|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/rmDeruhJ/#match-summary|access-date=1 December 2021|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> [[Hatem Trabelsi]] announced his retirement from international football after eight years,<ref>{{Cite web|date=21 February 2018|title=Hatem Trabelsi {{!}} National Football Teams|url=http://www.national-football-teams.com:80/player/6730/Hatem_Trabelsi.html|access-date=1 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180221022708/http://www.national-football-teams.com:80/player/6730/Hatem_Trabelsi.html|archive-date=21 February 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=20 May 2018 |title=FIFA Tournaments - Players & Coaches - Hatem TRABELSI |url=http://www.fifa.com:80/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=170770/index.html |access-date=1 December 2021 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180520095227/http://www.fifa.com:80/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=170770/index.html |archive-date=20 May 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref> and Lemerre led Tunisia to the 2008 African Cup of Nations.

They then lost against [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] 3–2 in extra time.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tunisia - Cameroon 2:3 |url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/l2XD4DFF/#match-summary |access-date=1 December 2021 |website=www.flashscore.com |language=en}}</ref>

=== 2008–14: Disappointments and missing the World Cup ===
[[File:TunisieCamerounAngola2010.JPG|thumb|220px|Tunisia-Gabon match in the [[2010 Africa Cup of Nations]].]]

Portuguese [[Humberto Coelho]] was appointed as the new manager on 3 June 2008. Coelho would fail to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. [[Faouzi Benzarti]] was appointed as the new manager, and was also sacked after Tunisia were eliminated from the group stage in the [[2010 Africa Cup of Nations]]. In June 2010, [[Bertrand Marchand]] was appointed manager for a two-year contract. After a series of horrendous results, Tunisia fell to 65th in the [[FIFA World Rankings]], the worst in its history. [[Sami Trabelsi]] was appointed, and the team qualified for the [[2012 Africa Cup of Nations]], where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals after a defeat by [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]].

In the [[2013 Africa Cup of Nations]], Tunisia snatched a late winner against [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]], before a defeat by [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]], 3–0. The last match ended with a 1–1 draw against [[Togo national football team|Togo]]. In February 2013, [[Nabil Maâloul]] replaced Sami Trabelsi; in their first two [[2014 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|2014 World Cup qualification]] matches, Tunisia beat Sierra Leone 2–1 and clinched a 2–2 draw in [[Freetown]]. On 16 June, during the fifth round of the group stage, Tunisia tied 1–1 against Equatorial Guinea. A 2–0 loss to Cape Verde on 7 September all but eliminated Tunisia; however, Tunisia advanced after FIFA disqualified Cape Verde for cheating. They would then be knocked out by Cameroon.

=== 2014–present: Renaissance and two participation in the World Cup ===
Belgian manager [[Georges Leekens]] was appointed in early 2014; early results included a 1–1 draw against [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] and a 1–0 win over [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Colombia - Tunisia 1:1|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/8Ct7uOS7/#match-summary|access-date=3 August 2020|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=South Korea - Tunisia 0:1|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/INedKt71/#match-summary|access-date=3 August 2020|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> both in friendly matches. Under Leekens, the team climbed from 49th to 22nd in the FIFA rankings. Tunisia qualified for the [[2015 African Cup of Nations]], and topped their group for the first time since 2008, winning against [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]] and drawing with [[Cape Verde national football team|Cape Verde]] and [[DR Congo national football team|DR Congo]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Zambia - Tunisia 1:2|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/CxLpBtin/#match-summary|access-date=3 August 2020|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia - Cape Verde 1:1|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/beEY3PqJ/#match-summary|access-date=3 August 2020|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=D.R.

[[File:Bel-Tun_(15).jpg|thumb|298x298px|Tunisia–Belgium match at the [[2018 FIFA World Cup]] in Russia.|left]]
On 27 April 2017, [[Nabil Maâloul]] returned as manager despite the disapproval of the Tunisian supporters following the failure at the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, but this time he qualified Tunisia for the [[2018 FIFA World Cup|2018 World Cup]] in Russia. Tunisia's qualification for the World Cup and its results in friendlies against [[Iran national football team|Iran]] and [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tunisia - Iran 1:0|url=https://www.flashscore.com/match/ClJnoE32/#match-summary|access-date=3 August 2020|website=www.flashscore.com|language=en}}</ref> led to its rise to 14th place in the [[FIFA World Rankings]], their best ever.
