World Cup Football

Tunisia

Tunisia have made it through the qualifying rounds of the World Cup on three occasions, in 1978, 1998 and 2002
Tunisia won many admirers for African football in their first appearance at a World Cup finals in 1978, beating Mexico and holding world champions Germany to a draw, before exiting the tournament after the first round.
It was not until 20 years later that Tunisia returned to the finals where they were in a tough group with England, Colombia and Romania and not unexpectedly failed to survive the first stage.
They qualified again for the 2002 tournament but again put up a disappointing showing, earning a single point from a dour meeting with Belgium before heading home early.
