Facts

 
  • Tunisia won many admirers for African football in their first appearance at a FIFA World Cup™ finals in 1978, beating Mexico and holding world champions Germany to a draw, before exiting the tournament after the first round.

     
  • Two decades passed before Tunisia returned to the finals where they landed 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 packing their bags for an early flight home.
